What a day looks like
Market managers make ensuring that shops are correctly implementing the Amazon in-store experience and merchandising. They perform the role of the Amazon evangelist, leading events for sales representatives to learn how to promote Amazon and taking part in supported selling activities. They oversee retailer communications as well as in-store product transitions. They heavily rely on persuasion rather than power to produce project deliverables.
About the group
Market managers heavily rely on influence without formal power to push projects to completion, increase brand loyalty, and enhance the shopping experience for customers in brick and mortar locations. At the market and district levels, they cultivate relationships with important internal and external players.
