Brand Manager

Job Description

About Hike

Hike is a fast-growing marketplace agency backed by Sportique, a global commerce platform with 17+ years of experience scaling, investing in, and acquiring premium brands.

We help established brands build profitable, sustainable businesses across Amazon and other marketplaces through strategy, operations, advertising, content, catalog management, analytics, and performance-driven growth.

We work with premium brands across beauty, wellness, home, outdoor, technology, CPG, fashion, and lifestyle.

Our team is collaborative, highly accountable, and focused on doing exceptional work for brands we genuinely believe in.

We're looking for a Brand Manager who wants more than simply managing accounts — someone who wants to take real ownership, become deeply involved in the businesses they oversee, and grow with Hike over the long term.

The Role

As a Brand Manager at Hike, you'll act as the business owner for a portfolio of premium brands on Amazon.

You'll be the primary strategic partner for your clients, responsible for understanding their businesses, identifying opportunities and risks, developing the strategy, and leading our internal teams to execute against it.

You'll work closely with specialists across Advertising, SEO, Content, Creative, Catalog, Merchandising, and Operations — but you'll own the bigger picture.

This role is ideal for someone who:

Takes ownership naturally

Has a strong point of view

Moves quickly and follows through

Enjoys solving problems

Communicates confidently with clients

Thinks proactively about growth

Wants more responsibility as they prove themselves

What You'll Own

Own the overall health, growth, and performance of your assigned brands

Develop and execute marketplace growth strategies

Identify opportunities proactively rather than waiting for clients to ask

Lead client meetings with clear recommendations and next steps

Build trusted relationships with founders, executives, and ecommerce teams

Coordinate internal specialists across Advertising, SEO, Content, Creative, Catalog, and Operations

Translate strategy into clear priorities and actionable projects

Review and QA internal deliverables before they reach the client

Monitor revenue, profitability, TACoS, inventory health, catalog performance, and other core KPIs

Manage product launches, listing optimization, promotions, and merchandising initiatives

Identify and help resolve suppression, compliance, Buy Box, inventory, variation, and catalog issues

Stay current on Amazon policies, tools, and marketplace trends

Help brands evaluate expansion opportunities across international Amazon marketplaces and other relevant channels

What We're Looking For

3–5+ years of hands-on Amazon or marketplace experience

Strong experience with Amazon Seller Central

Experience managing or owning meaningful Amazon businesses

Ability to manage multiple brands, priorities, and stakeholders

Strong understanding of Amazon best practices across catalog, content, advertising, operations, and profitability

Excellent communication skills

Strong analytical ability

High attention to detail

Strong organizational and project-management skills

Experience working with cross-functional teams

Experience with Asana or similar project-management platforms

Agency experience is valuable, but not required.

We're equally interested in strong brand-side, ecommerce, marketplace, and Amazon-native operators.

You'll Thrive at Hike If...

You don't need to be micromanaged

You have a natural sense of urgency

You're curious and enjoy understanding how businesses work

You proactively identify problems and opportunities

You're comfortable making recommendations and having a point of view

You hold yourself accountable for outcomes

You care deeply about the quality of your work

You want to grow with the company over the long term

Why Hike

Work with thoughtful, premium brands from around the world

Own meaningful businesses rather than one narrow function

Work closely with experienced operators and company leadership

Collaborate with dedicated specialists across Advertising, SEO, Content, Creative, Catalog, and Operations

Join a growing company where strong performance creates meaningful career opportunities

Help shape how Hike operates as we continue to scale

Remote-first environment

Performance-based bonus opportunities
