Amazon Brand Manager / PPC Strategist

About us:

We're a boutique Amazon advertising agency managing PPC for established brands ($1M–$15M in revenue). We're small, sharp, and we don't hide behind decks - clients come to us for straight talk and real results, not polish. We're growing, and we're adding a senior strategist to own accounts so the founder can step back from day-to-day delivery. Our strategists don't manage accounts - they own outcomes.

What you'll actually do:

• Own accounts end-to-end. You're the single point of accountability for client results and retention - you run onboarding, set strategy, deliver results, and keep the account. You own the relationship; our PPC managers own execution; both of you own the result.
• Author the strategy. Audit accounts, find the biggest levers, and decide the moves: harvesting, scaling winners, cutting bleeders, rank plays, budget and bid strategy across SP/SB/SD.
• Drive results, not reports. Analyze each brand's performance and profitability weekly. Diagnose problems before the client notices them. Translate numbers into clear, confident client communication.
• Drive the execution team. Two PPC managers handle the hands-on work. You direct them, review their work, log the decisions, and make sure things actually get done and reported accurately — you close loops, you don't let them sit open.
• Own client communication. Weekly cadence, review calls, and proactive updates. If an account drifts, the client hears it from you first - silence is a client's anxiety, and you close that gap. Response within 2 hours during business hours.
• (Optional) Close new business. After a lead is booked, you take the call, present the audit findings, and present the plan and price. You convert through credibility and a sharp diagnosis - not hard-sell tactics.

Who this is for:

• 3+ years hands-on Brand Manager handling 6+ accounts at once and Amazon Ads as a strategist.
• Agency experience managing multiple brands simultaneously (mandatory) - you've held a book of 5+ accounts at once and didn't drop the ball.
• Proven managing $100K+/month in ad spend across your accounts.
• You author strategy from scratch - hand you an underperforming account and you can tell us what's wrong and exactly what you'd do, without being told.
• You close loops relentlessly - you don't let a task, a directive, or a client question sit unanswered; you flag and escalate within hours, not days.
• Excellent spoken English and confident, clear on live client and sales calls.
• You can present and price an engagement to a prospect with authority.
• You work comfortably in US business hours (this is a client-facing role).

Who this is NOT for

• You need to be told what to do every day.
• You think "good enough" is good enough.
• You avoid difficult conversations with clients.
• You want a role that's purely execution with no client or strategy ownership.
• You work comfortably in US business hours (this is purely client-facing role).
• You can present and price an engagement to a prospect with authority (optional)

Bonus

• Experience with AdLabs or similar PPC tool / Sellerboard / Helium 10 / DataDive / bulk operations.
• You've run or contributed to agency sales / closing before.
• You've built or improved reporting and account SOPs.

How we work: Remote.

Tools: AdLabs/SellerJar, Amazon Ads console, Helium 10, Slack, ClickUp, and time tracking (TimeDoctor) across the team. Low account-to-manager ratio so you can do deep work.

Comp & growth:

Compensation: ~$2,600–3,700/month at full-time ($15–23/hr; starts part-time and scales as accounts migrate to you).

Our hiring is a 5-step process:

Application review → short video interview → paid audit task (we pay you for your time to audit a real account) → live case interview → paid trial period. Every shortlisted candidate hears back from us.
