Amazon Product Sourcing Manager - Hybrid

We are seeking an experienced Amazon Product Sourcing Manager to join a rapidly growing US-based Amazon Private Label brand in a hybrid work setting. As the company scales, the founder requires a dedicated professional to take full ownership of the product lifecycle—from sourcing and factory validation to ensuring products are shelf-ready. This role allows the founder to focus on growth and marketing while you manage the end-to-end product sourcing process. This is a hands-on position requiring deep involvement in factory relationships, quality control, and timeline management, rather than a coordination or administrative role.

Key Responsibilities
- Manage the entire product development process from product specifications through factory selection, sampling, validation, and final preparation for launch.
- Maintain and expand direct relationships with China-based factories; this role demands an existing network of trusted suppliers rather than experience working through intermediaries.
- Identify and resolve quality issues promptly with suppliers to prevent customer returns and maintain product standards.
- Oversee the supply-side launch timeline, ensuring production, sampling, and shipping milestones are met to avoid delays.
- Create clear, customer-facing technical content such as product inserts and instruction manuals to support product usability and compliance.

Required Qualifications
- Proven, hands-on experience sourcing products directly from factories in China, without relying on middlemen or agencies.
- Demonstrated success in managing products from concept and sampling stages through to market launch.
- Strong written English skills, capable of producing clear and professional technical content for customers.
- Ability to work independently and take full ownership of outcomes without requiring close supervision.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits
- Prior experience specifically with Amazon Private Label products, including familiarity with product lifecycle management, Amazon listing requirements, and what it means for a product to be “launch-ready” on the platform.
- Experience negotiating pricing and contract terms directly with suppliers to optimize costs and terms.
- Bachelor’s degree is preferred.
- At least three years of direct product sourcing experience from China factories.
- Minimum three years of experience in product sourcing and product development.
- Experience working with Amazon Private Label brands is highly desirable.
- Fluency in English is preferred.
- This position requires in-person work to facilitate close collaboration with the team and suppliers.

This role offers a unique opportunity to take full ownership of product sourcing within a fast-growing Amazon Private Label brand. If you have a strong network of factory contacts in China and a proven track record of delivering products from concept to launch, you will thrive in this position.
