As the Head of the Marketplace for Hardlines, you will lead a team that is responsible for growing Amazon’s selection and ensuring the success of brands available on Amazon across a portfolio of categories such as: Smartphones, Personal Computers, Kitchen Appliances, Furniture, Vehicle, Sports, Toys, and many more.
