JOB OVERVIEW

About us:
We are a growing Amazon FBA business (US marketplace), currently formalizing our US company structure. We sell in the home & kitchen category. We're expanding into wholesale and online arbitrage sourcing, while also continuing some private label work. Looking for a long-term team member, not a one-off gig.

What you'll do:
- Research and verify wholesale and online arbitrage (OA) leads using Keepa as your core tool, plus SellerAmp SAS for profitability checks (SmartScout experience is a strong plus).
- Check profitability on every lead: target ROI 20%+, net profit $3+/unit, sales velocity 50+/month (exact targets may be adjusted together).
- Check every lead for restrictions before recommending it: brand gating, IP complaints, Amazon as the seller, hazmat/oversize issues.
- Help monitor competitor pricing and Buy Box share on our active listings, and work with a repricing tool (rules/strategy will be set together with us) to stay competitive.
- Occasionally support private label product research: identifying trending opportunities, evaluating demand/competition, and locating suppliers on Alibaba/1688 for quotes.
- Deliver a clean, organized lead/report sheet on a regular schedule (product, ASIN, supplier, cost, ROI, restrictions, notes).
- Flag risks clearly and honestly — never hide a restriction or a weak number to make a lead look better than it is.

What you need:
- 1+ year of experience in Amazon FBA product research (wholesale, OA, and/or private label).
- Strong, hands-on knowledge of Keepa (rank/price/sales history) — this one is a must-have for us.
- Working knowledge of SellerAmp SAS or a similar profitability calculator, and at least one restriction-checking tool (RevSeller, Seller Assistant App, or similar browser extension).
- Big plus if you also know SmartScout (supplier/brand discovery, product analytics) — not required, but it moves your application to the top.
- Familiarity with a repricing tool (Aura, BQool, Seller Snap, or Amazon's own Automate Pricing) and how Buy Box competition works on wholesale listings — a strong plus, not required day one.
- Bonus if you also know: Helium 10, Jungle Scout, Tactical Arbitrage, or InventoryLab.
- Strong Google Sheets/Excel skills (filters, formulas, organizing data cleanly).
- Basic understanding of Alibaba/1688 sourcing for private label items.
- Reliable internet, available full-time (40 hrs/week), consistent output on a regular schedule.
- High attention to detail — accuracy matters more than speed. Strong written English for reports.

How to apply:
Start your application with your favorite color, then answer: (1) How many wholesale/OA leads per week can you realistically verify, with full restriction checks? (2) What's your process to confirm a product is NOT gated and has no IP complaints before recommending it? (3) How comfortable are you with Keepa and SmartScout specifically — rate yourself 1-5 on each and explain why. (4) Have you worked with a repricing tool before? Which one? (5) Do you also have experience with private label product research (trend/demand analysis, Alibaba sourcing)? (6) One example (anonymized) of a product you found and the numbers behind it.
