Interim Director, Amazon

Dr. Squatch · New York, NY, USA ·

Pay:
200.000 - 250.000
Job type:
Temporary

At Dr. Squatch, we’re raising the bar on men’s personal care with our line of natural, high‑performance products. We’re on a high‑growth, fast‑moving ride, continually introducing new product categories, launching into retailers nationwide, and expanding internationally.

About the Role
We’re hiring an experienced Amazon operator for a contract leave coverage (October 2026 through mid‑January 2027). This is a high‑trust, high‑impact contract role – you’ll be the senior execution arm of the Amazon US business through our most important quarter of the year.

You’ll partner closely with our Senior Manager, Marketplaces Strategy, who is stepping up to lead day‑to‑day ops and strategy during the leave. You’ll report to the Sr. Director, Marketplaces through October handover, then to our Chief Digital Officer for the remainder of the contract.

This is a contract temporary opportunity.

What You’ll Do

Help deliver Q4 (eight‑figure revenue in 12 weeks) – the quarter that makes the year

Stay deep in the account daily—diagnose fast, unblock the team, surface growth the planning cycle missed

Lead discrete strategic workstreams as they come up—e.g. TikTok Shop product launch coordinated with Amazon

Be the senior voice in cross‑functional rooms during the overlap and the leave — confident judgment on paid, merch, ops, pricing trade‑offs, account unblocks

Keep the function moving especially during key pivot points (e.g. October Prime Day and Turkey 12) so the team isn’t waiting on decisions

About You

6+ years owning or operating a meaningful Amazon US P&L (Director or senior Manager level) at a high‑growth brand

Experience at a corporate or PE‑backed company — you understand the real trade‑offs between speed and process, growth and profitability, brand and performance

A track record of operating in the account, not just managing through it — comfortable in Seller Central, an ad SaaS, Brand Analytics, etc.

Strong commercial judgment under pressure — you’ve owned a Q4 number before

Crisp, executive‑ready communication — you write tight Slack updates and you don’t bury asks

The temperament to step into someone else’s house and operate at pace quickly

Bonus Points

Personal care, beauty, or CPG category experience

Experience launching adjacent channels (TikTok Shop, Walmart 1P & 3P etc.)

Paid media depth — you can partner with a PPC operator without micromanaging

Have worked through a leadership transition (parental leave, acquisition, restructure)

We offer a competitive salary in a growth‑focused & collaborative team environment. Benefits include medical, dental, vision, 401k with Squatch match, and PTO. We also have great perks such as healthy snacks, frequent company events, and of course, free products!

We are an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under applicable law.
