We are a rapidly expanding eCommerce brand operating in the consumer hardware and maintenance space, dedicated to building high-utility, direct-to-consumer and professional-grade products. As we continue to scale our portfolio across hundreds of active SKUs, we are expanding our in-house advertising team and seeking an experienced, analytical Amazon PPC Specialist to take direct ownership of paid search and marketplace growth.

• Product Launch Strategy: Develop and execute aggressive, structured paid launch playbooks for new product additions to establish initial velocity, drive keyword indexing, and capture market share.
• Profitability & Financial Analysis: Conduct regular P&L evaluations at both the individual ASIN and total account levels, ensuring every advertising dollar maps directly to net profit and contribution margin.
• Performance Optimization: Monitor, audit, and optimize key efficiency metrics (ACOS, TACOS, ROAS, and ROI) against defined target thresholds.
• Account Portfolio Management: Allocate and balance advertising budgets across multiple Amazon accounts to maximize visibility without sacrificing margin.
• Data Reporting & Insights: Own performance reporting cycles (daily, weekly, and monthly) to track performance, flag catalog issues immediately, and deliver actionable insights during peak seasonal pushes.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Articulate campaign structures, bidding logic, and keyword harvest methodologies clearly to internal stakeholders and brand leadership.

• 3+ years of direct, hands-on experience managing active, live Amazon PPC budgets.
• Platform Mastery: Deep functional command of Amazon Seller Central and Amazon Advertising / Campaign Manager.
• Catalog Scale: Demonstrated track record managing large, complex product catalogs and proprietary private-label brands.
• Data & Analytical Fluency: High-level proficiency in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets (pivot tables, complex lookup formulas, custom data modeling, and performance reporting).
• Launch Experience: Proven success launching new ASINs and scaling keyword rankings using paid strategies.
• Financial Acumen: Ability to diagnose why an individual SKU or campaign is underperforming using granular search-term and fee data.
• Location: Must be based locally and able to work full-time on-site at our Brooklyn, NY office.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing external paid acquisition channels, such as Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max) or Meta Ads.
• Hands-on experience with Amazon DSP (Demand-Side Platform).
