Amazon Backend Jobs in Illinois (NOW HIRING)

ABOUT VIVO

VIVO is a US-based home and office brand delivering ergonomic solutions — standing desks, desk converters, monitor
and TV mounts, workspace accessories, and more — to millions of customers. We design, import, and sell our
products across Amazon (US, CA, UK, EU, AU, MX), our Shopify-powered DTC site, and a growing wholesale channel.
We also manage a portfolio of recently acquired consumer brands. VIVO is a lean, high-velocity operation where
ownership and accountability are the cultural currency.

THE ROLE

VIVO operates as a pure-play third-party (3P) eCommerce seller managing 2,000+ SKUs across Amazon (US and
international), Walmart, Wayfair, our Shopify-powered DTC site, and emerging marketplace channels. We are hiring a
Brand Manager to own the day-to-day execution of marketplace sales operations and advertising performance across
these platforms.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role — you will not manage direct reports. Instead, you will be expected to
develop deep operational ownership of marketplace performance, collaborate cross-functionally with marketing,
forecasting, supply chain, and operations teams, and demonstrate the commercial judgment that earns expanded
responsibility over time.
The right candidate thrives in the details of 3P marketplace operations, understands the levers that drive profitability
at the SKU level, and is motivated by the opportunity to grow within a fast-moving, entrepreneurial organization. We
will invest in developing management skills over time — what we need on day one is someone who can execute at a
high level across our marketplace and advertising platforms.
