We run Amazon, retail media and DTC growth for brands on Amazon, Ulta, Sephora and beyond. We look at the whole brand, not just one channel. We want to know what actually drove growth, not just which channel got the credit. We've also built our own proprietary tools for ads management, reporting and analysis, so our strategists spend less time on manual work and more time on thinking and client relationships. We're based in Greenville, South Carolina, and the team currently works remotely. The Role We're hiring a Senior Amazon Ads Manager to lead Amazon advertising strategy and client relationships across a portfolio of beauty brands.

You can present with confidence, push back when needed and turn data into a clear recommendation • Strong analytical skills.
