Amazon Music Merch team is looking for a self-driven Vendor Management candidate that has a proven track record of delivering results with pace and integrity. The ideal candidate should also have a demonstrated ability to think strategically and analytically about a business, with the ability to build clear processes, and work cross-organizationally to build consensus. A keen sense of ownership, drive, and scrappiness is a must. The Vendor Manager will work with Merch's most strategic teams and vendors and be responsible for selection expansion, building direct relationships with key suppliers, negotiating contracts, managing vendor setup and new item setup processes, setting prices, developing collaborative marketing and promotions, and driving sales and margin improvements. In addition, the Vendor Manager must be an effective leader and communicator in working with Amazon internal groups such as in-stock management, site merchandising, marketing, PR, finance, operations, and retail systems.
