Amazon PPC Manager

Amazon PPC Manager

Remote | Europe or European working hours | $3,000 to $5,000 per month plus performance bonus

I am partnering exclusively with a highly successful international ecommerce business to hire an exceptional Amazon PPC Manager .

This is not a role for someone who simply understands Amazon advertising. We are looking for someone who loves it.

Someone who enjoys getting into the numbers every day, finding wasted spend, identifying opportunities, adjusting bids and placements, scaling winners and figuring out how to squeeze more profitable growth from a large Amazon catalogue.

The business is already investing more than $300,000 every month in Amazon advertising, with plans to spend considerably more. There is effectively no fixed advertising ceiling. Profitability is the gate.

You will ultimately have significant authority over a multimillion dollar annual advertising budget and a catalogue of approximately 500 products.

The opportunity

The business already has a highly successful PPC methodology.

The challenge is scale.

Today that methodology is running across approximately 50 products. The ambition is to expand it across 150 plus ASINs initially and ultimately much more of the catalogue.

You will be trained directly by the person currently responsible for Amazon advertising, learn the methodology quickly, and then take ownership of daily PPC execution so that he can step away from the day to day optimisation.

That means real responsibility.

You will personally own:

• Daily Amazon PPC optimisation across a large catalogue

• Bids, budgets, placements and negatives

• Sponsored Products

• Sponsored Brands

• Sponsored Display

• Identifying wasted spend and reallocating budget

• Scaling winning campaigns profitably

• Supporting product launches

• Defending organic rank

• Monitoring ACoS, TACoS, advertising spend and overall profitability

• Finding opportunities proactively rather than waiting to be given a list of tasks

This is Amazon only . You will not be distracted by Meta, Google or a broader performance marketing remit.

What we are looking for

The most important requirement is that you have personally owned Amazon PPC .

You should have been the person deciding:

• What bids to set

• Where budgets should go

• Which search terms to negate

• How campaigns should be structured

• When to increase spend

• When to cut waste

• How to use placement modifiers and bidding strategies

As a rough credibility benchmark, we would ideally like to see someone who has personally controlled at least $50,000 per month in Amazon advertising spend across 20 to 30 or more actively advertised SKUs .

The absolute number is not the deciding factor.

Someone managing $50,000 across a broad catalogue who is hungry to take on something significantly bigger may be far more interesting than somebody managing a huge budget who has become comfortable.

You should already be highly comfortable with Amazon Campaign Manager, bulk operations, campaign architecture, match types, bidding strategies and the mechanics of Amazon PPC.

The onboarding period is short. This is not a role where we will teach someone Amazon advertising from scratch.

The personality we want, four things matter enormously.

Hunger

You want more responsibility. You naturally look for opportunities and take ownership of things nobody explicitly assigned to you.

Obsessed with numbers

You genuinely enjoy working with data. Analysing performance does not feel like a chore.

You enjoy optimisation

There is something satisfying to you about finding inefficiency, cutting wasted spend and watching performance improve.

Coachable, then autonomous

You are happy to learn an existing methodology properly, but once you understand it, you want the freedom and responsibility to run with it.

Background

Experience working directly for an ecommerce brand is particularly interesting.

Strong Amazon specialist agency candidates are also welcome, particularly if you have spent meaningful time embedded with one or two significant brands and personally controlled the advertising strategy and budget.

This is probably not the right opportunity if Amazon PPC is only one small part of a broader digital marketing role, if your experience is primarily Seller Central operations or listings, or if your role has mainly involved reporting on campaigns managed by somebody else.

AI

The business already uses AI extensively within its Amazon advertising operation.

If you are already using tools such as Claude or ChatGPT to analyse data, investigate performance, automate repetitive work or improve your PPC decision making, I would particularly like to hear about it.

You do not need to be an AI expert, but curiosity about how AI can make an excellent PPC operator even better is important.

What you get

You will inherit a working system rather than being asked to build everything from scratch.

You will receive intensive one to one training on the existing PPC methodology and ongoing specialist coaching after joining.

More importantly, you will be given genuine ownership.

If you perform, the potential scope is enormous.

The company already spends more than $4 million annually on Amazon advertising , expects that number to grow significantly and has no intention of restricting profitable advertising spend.

Compensation

$3,000 to $5,000 USD per month , depending on experience and capability.

Performance bonuses will become available following the initial six month period where there is clear improvement in advertising performance.

This is a full time remote opportunity for someone based in Europe or able to work reliably during European hours.

If Amazon PPC is the part of ecommerce you genuinely geek out about and you want the opportunity to take responsibility for several million dollars of future advertising spend, I would love to hear from you.
