Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an Amazon Marketing Manager and an Amazon Channel Manager?
An Amazon Marketing Manager focuses on advertising and marketing performance. An Amazon Channel Manager owns the full business including operations, inventory, and P&L. At smaller companies one person covers both; larger organizations separate them.
Do you place Amazon Marketing Managers at agencies?
Yes. We place Amazon advertising managers at both brands and agencies. Agency experience often signals strong breadth across categories and ad formats.
Is Amazon DSP experience required?
It depends on the role. Many Manager-level positions focus on Sponsored Ads and do not require deep DSP expertise. Senior roles increasingly require DSP experience. We will scope requirements with you before sourcing.
How fast can you fill this role?
Most searches take 3-5 weeks. Amazon advertising talent moves quickly, so strong candidates often have multiple conversations happening simultaneously.
What is your fee?
Contingency model. No placement, no fee. New clients receive a 10% discount on their first placement.
