Associate Product Developer & Sourcing Coordinator

Location: Remote

Job Type: Full-Time

Company Overview:

We are a leading Amazon brand aggregator operating in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and across the EU. Our mission is to acquire, scale, and optimize e-commerce brands, transforming them into market leaders. We leverage expertise in product development, creative design, data analytics, supply chain management, and PPC strategy to ensure our brands outperform the competition. With a data-driven mindset, cutting-edge technology, and a culture of innovation, we continuously push boundaries to create best-in-class brands that thrive in the ever-evolving e-commerce landscape.

About the Role:

We're looking for a data-driven, analytical Associate Product Developer to support our Senior Product Developer in building a strong product pipeline and expanding our SKU portfolio across Amazon, Shopify (DTC), and other e-commerce channels.

This role helps build and manage product pipelines by coordinating research, validation support, supplier communication, sampling iterations, specification documentation, and cross-functional handoffs to ensure products reach order-ready status efficiently and accurately.

Key Responsibilities

• Support product research, validation, and competitor analysis to spot strong opportunities across Amazon and DTC.
• Turn product ideas into clear requirements and documentation: materials, dimensions, function, quality standards, and packaging requirements.
• Create and maintain spec sheets so suppliers can execute accurately across sampling rounds.
• Help manage timelines and keep projects moving by coordinating with relevant departments.

• Research, identify, and vet new suppliers for new product opportunities, based on required capabilities, quality standards, and target costs.
• Lead RFQs for new projects by gathering and comparing quotes (unit cost, customization options, MOQ, lead times, packaging capability, shipping/payment terms) to ensure profitability and feasibility.
• Drive initial supplier discussions and negotiations to secure best-value terms like pricing tiers, MOQ flexibility, tooling/mold cost handling, packaging optimization, lead time commitments, payment terms, inclusions, and sampling requirements.
• Manage supplier communication, project discussions, and follow-ups to reduce cycle time and ensure clarity of requirements and deliverables.

• Support profitability and landed cost analysis, factoring in different fee structures like Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) vs Shopify 3PL (Third-Party Logistics).
• Utilize Helium 10, Jungle Scout, and Shopify Analytics to identify market gaps and track competitor movement.
• Maintain accurate product development trackers and ensure documentation is complete for downstream teams.

Required Experience & Skills

• 2–4 years experience in product development, sourcing, or supplier coordination within e-commerce/consumer products.
• Experience working with Amazon Seller Central and Shopify (Shopify Plus is a plus). Familiarity with TikTok Shop or Walmart Marketplace is a plus.
• Proven experience communicating with international manufacturers (China and/or Southeast Asia) and managing sampling cycles.
• Strong working knowledge of Helium 10, Jungle Scout, and Excel (pivot tables, lookups, and cost modeling).
• Solid understanding of landed cost fundamentals (product cost, packaging, freight, duties, and fulfillment fees).

Must-Have Personal Assets (for remote/VA setup)

• Dedicated home office setup with a high-performance laptop/desktop.
• Stable high-speed internet connection (minimum 20 Mbps, with backup preferred).
• At minimum: Intel Core i5 (10th Gen or newer) / AMD Ryzen 5, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage.

Benefits

• 12 days annual leave (convertible to cash)
• Paid Philippine holidays (9 days a year)
• Birthday leave
• Bonuses & profit-sharing opportunities
• HMO coverage upon completion of probation
• Local & international trips for team building and brand immersion
