About the Role
We're hiring a Purchasing Manager / Sourcing Specialist to own supplier sourcing, negotiation, and execution for a fast-growing Amazon-focused eCommerce brand.
This is a hands-on, operator-level role. You will work directly with China-based manufacturers and be accountable for cost, quality, timelines, and landed margins - from RFQs and samples through POs, freight, and delivery into FBA or 3PL.
If you love negotiating, obsess over landed cost accuracy, and enjoy running sourcing like a business - you'll thrive here

Build and maintain accurate landed cost models (product, freight, duties, FBA fees, margins)
Coordinate samples, specs, packaging, labeling, and regulatory compliance
Create and manage POs from production through delivery (FBA / 3PL)
Track supplier performance: OTIF, cost accuracy, quality, defect rates
Proactively resolve delays, quality issues, and cost variances
Drive cost-saving initiatives (negotiation, packaging optimization, freight consolidation, alternate sourcing)
Support inventory replenishment and demand planning with clean, reliable data
Document processes and continuously improve sourcing workflows
What We're Looking For
3+ years in purchasing, sourcing, or supply chain (Amazon FBA / eCommerce preferred)
Proven experience negotiating with China-based factories
Strong understanding of landed cost, margins, and Amazon fee structures
Comfortable pushing back on suppliers and holding them accountable
Solid knowledge of QC checkpoints and basic product compliance
Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills (cost models, scenarios, tracking)
Highly organized, detail-oriented, and execution-focused
Able to work independently in a fast-paced, remote environment
Clear communicator who documents decisions and follows through
Nice to Have (Not Required)
Experience with Amazon tools (Helium 10, Keepa)
Exposure to EDI, inventory planning, or demand forecasting
Experience sourcing regulated products (home improvement, replacement parts)
Familiarity with total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis
What We Offer
$4,500 - $5,500/month + monthly performance bonuses
Significant career growth potential
100% remote role with flexibility
Paid time off + flexible work schedule
High-impact role with autonomy and visibility
Direct influence on revenue, rankings, and product success
This Role Is for You If
You're data-obsessed and love finding ways to win
You thrive with autonomy and ownership
You're scrappy, resourceful, and results-driven
You enjoy wearing multiple hats and driving measurable growth
