FIGS is looking for a strategic, commercially driven Director, Amazon & Marketplaces to lead and grow our Amazon business. Acting as the general manager of the channel, this leader will own its strategy, financial performance, customer experience, and execution—building Amazon into a meaningful, profitable growth channel for FIGS.

- Serve as the central business owner connecting Marketing, Creative, Merchandising, Inventory Planning, Operations, Finance, CX, and other partners.
- Establish clear responsibilities, regular business reviews, and processes that enable timely decisions and effective execution.
- Bring recommendations, results, risks, and investment needs to senior leadership with clear supporting analysis.
### Drive Marketing, Merchandising, and the Customer Experience

- Direct the Amazon marketing strategy across paid advertising, organic discovery, promotional events, and relevant traffic from outside Amazon.
- Oversee advertising investment and agency execution across Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, and other relevant Amazon advertising solutions.
- Evaluate performance across total channel sales, organic and paid growth, customer acquisition, conversion, and profitability.
- Partner with Merchandising to define the right assortment, product launch plans, and promotional calendar for the channel.
- Lead ongoing improvements to the FIGS Storefront, product detail pages, A+ content, search optimization, and catalog structure in partnership with the agency and internal teams.
- Ensure the shopping experience communicates FIGS’ product differentiation and premium brand consistently.
### Manage Inventory, Operations, and Platform Health
