What you'll do

  • Run the new product pipeline: move ideas through sourcing and quotes, prioritise with supply chain, and ask the product lead for more ideas when needed
  • Run the client launch pipeline: coordinate each step from product selection to launch, with clear owners, deadlines and follow-ups
  • Start with a daily 30-minute pulse check: review launch blockers, outstanding quotes, enough product ideas, and client/team Slack updates
  • Work with supply chain to keep orders, stock and logistics on track, and build forecasts from real sales data as it becomes available
  • Clear blockers promptly, chase outstanding quotes, and help the team prioritise what needs to move next
  • Coordinate catalogue, design and PPC specialists so their work is ready on time and nothing gets missed
  • Own the brand-building client journey, managing expectations and following up quickly on decisions and outstanding actions
  • Spend around half your time on client communication, including clear updates at least twice a week for active sourcing-phase clients
  • Keep trackers and regular reporting current; flag refund, stock or sales issues early, with a plan to address them
  • Improve the systems you run through clearer SOPs, better ClickUp workflows, and AI or automation where it helps
  • Run the weekly ops meeting and give the founders a concise report on progress, risks and next steps
  • Grow into wider business and agency operations, with the opportunity to build a team of one or two people

What we're looking for

  • A mover: hyper-organised, hyper-focused, high-energy, checking gaps on your own rhythm without being prompted
  • Client-management maturity: has held clients through difficult conversations (delays, cost overruns, bad news, scope arguments), resets expectations without becoming defensive and keeps clients engaged
  • People-management reflex: holds team members accountable without drama, runs meetings that produce decisions, leads specialists through clear briefs and consistent follow-up
  • Strong AI fluency: uses AI tools confidently to improve workflows while applying own thinking and checking output
  • 7+ years operations leadership in e-commerce, Amazon, or supply-chain-heavy business (has run a function, not just executed in one)
  • An understanding of Amazon, catalogue/listing workflows and the product-to-launch process; personally launching Amazon products is not required
  • Excellent organisation and follow-through: keeps trackers current, spots gaps and makes sure every action has an owner and a deadline
  • Excellent written English (native or near-native - client-facing communication is a core part of this role)
  • Systems thinker: designs and implements processes with discipline and is comfortable owning ClickUp, Notion, or Airtable as a daily operating tool
  • Strong prioritisation: can manage multiple projects, follow up promptly and keep work moving in a fast-paced business
  • Strong cross-team coordination: holds people accountable, clarifies responsibilities and works well with specialists
  • Based in or overlapping with EU time zone (Western or Eastern Europe strongly preferred, UK working hours)

Nice to have

  • Direct Amazon FBA private label launch experience (own brand or as an agency operator)
  • Commercial awareness: comfortable reading client contracts and revenue-share terms, able to flag when a scope change becomes a commercial issue
  • Experience managing offshore teams (Philippines, India, Pakistan, Eastern Europe)
  • Experience working at a bootstrapped business or as a COO-of-one at a small company
  • Supply chain experience, including supplier negotiation, securing better deals, sourcing in China, freight or FBA logistics
  • Familiarity with Xero, Sellerboard, Helium 10, Jungle Scout, or similar Amazon-specific tooling
  • Background that includes running both client-facing and internal operations functions
