Hi there!
I am looking for an experienced Marketplace Operations VA to take ownership of day-to-day Amazon operations and related operational tasks.
This is NOT an entry-level Amazon role. You should already be very comfortable working inside Seller Central.
I will explain our priorities, products, and company-specific processes. I do not want to explain where to find things in Seller Central or how basic Amazon workflows work.
The goal is simple: take routine marketplace and operational work off my plate and make sure tasks are followed through until they are fully completed.
If you enjoy structure, ownership, clear communication, and closing loops, please read on.

• Brand Management
