Location: Europe (100% Remote)

Employment: Full-time

Industry: E-commerce / Amazon FBA / Private Label


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


What You'll Own

Source, vet, and onboard overseas manufacturers (primarily China)

Run RFQs and negotiate pricing, MOQs, lead times, and payment terms

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
