About The Position

A growing e-commerce company is seeking a full-time Buyer to grow and manage its catalog of wholesale SKUs and exclusive brand products on Amazon. The Buyer will source profitable products from established brands, negotiate purchases, maintain appropriate inventory, and develop exclusive distribution arrangements in which the company becomes a brand’s sole Amazon seller. This is a lean, fast-moving team where the role has substantial ownership and a direct connection to the products customers buy.

Responsibilities

Research Amazon for wholesale SKUs with strong sales, room for another seller, and healthy margins.
Evaluate each SKU before purchase, including Buy Box price, number of sellers, sales rank, Amazon fees, restrictions, and intellectual property risk.
Develop a buy case for each SKU, covering cost, selling price, fees, margin, ROI, and expected monthly sales.
Find and contact brands, distributors, and manufacturers to open new wholesale accounts.
Negotiate product cost, minimums, payment terms, MAP pricing, and shipping terms.
Maintain supplier relationships and track supplier pricing, fill rates, and reliability.
Pitch brands on exclusive or authorized Amazon seller arrangements and negotiate exclusive distribution agreements, including territory, term, minimum purchase commitments, and brand protection.
Report sales and growth to brand partners.
Place and track purchase orders from order through delivery to the warehouse or Amazon FBA.
Forecast demand and plan reorders to keep top SKUs in stock without overbuying.
Monitor slow-moving inventory and plan price changes, returns to vendor, or liquidation.
Keep SKU cost, margin, and supplier records up to date.
