Job Description
Account Ownership & Strategy Leadership
- Own a portfolio of strategic brand accounts end-to-end — you are the senior strategist accountable for advertising performance against agreed commercial targets (revenue, ROAS, TACoS, new-to-brand, share of voice)
- Define quarterly and monthly advertising strategies for each account, aligned to partner commercial goals — growth, profitability, launches, defence, and category share
- Lead the advertising conversation in partner meetings, monthly performance reviews, and quarterly business reviews — own the narrative on what happened, why, what we are doing next, and what to expect
- Be the eyes and ears of the ads function — proactively flag what is working, what is at risk, and what to do about it, ahead of partners or leadership asking
- Partner with the Marketplaces Advertising Lead to hit portfolio-level targets; raise pacing, performance, and budget risks early and bring the recommended call, not just the problem
Campaign Strategy & Optimisation
- Plan, execute, and monitor paid advertising campaigns on Amazon (Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display) and Amazon DSP for your strategic accounts
- Lead optimisation across the portfolio — campaign structure, keyword strategy, negatives, bid strategy, audience targeting, creative direction, and budget pacing
- Test, scale, and retire — design structured tests (bid, placement, creative, audience), interpret results with rigour, and roll winners into the playbook
- Plan and manage weekly and monthly advertising budgets across your accounts; keep spend on pace and on strategy
- Continuously improve the tracking of brand-level ad spend and return on ad spend, and the way we report performance to partners
Amazon Marketing Cloud, DSP & Advanced Advertising
- Use Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) as a core part of how you build strategy — path-to-conversion, audience overlap, incrementality, new-to-brand analysis
- Run and interpret Amazon DSP campaigns and analytics — quantify how upper-funnel activity contributes to lower-funnel conversions and feed that back into the plan
- Stay ahead of the Amazon advertising roadmap — beta features, new ad types, AMC releases — and bring the relevant ones into how we operate
Partner & Cross-Functional Leadership
- Communicate with partners via email, calls, and face-to-face meetings — bring insight, not just updates
- Define compelling advertising strategies that meet partner commercial goals and articulate them clearly to non-specialist audiences
- Work closely with Brand Management, Merchandising, and SEO/Content to drive an aligned commercial agenda for your accounts — advertising is one lever, not the whole story
Team & Function
- Train, develop, and coach more junior strategists and the offshore execution team — quality-check work, raise the bar on standards, and build playbooks others can reuse
- Support the Lead on partner escalations, portfolio reviews, and strategic initiatives across the team
- Adopt internal tools and feed requirements back to the tech team to make the team faster and sharper
