Are you an experienced Trading Manager? Our client, a well-established supplier of electrical and homewares now has an exciting opportunity for an Amazon Trading Manager to join their team in Manchester.
Candidates will have experience managing Amazon Vendor Central Accounts.
Purpose of role:
Working directly with the Online Sales Director, you’ll help trade the Amazon business across a portfolio of established consumer brands.
