# Category Manager – Private Labels, Amazon Now (AE) – Amazon

Amazon Now, Amazon UAE’s quick-commerce business, is hiring a Category Manager for Private Labels to own the end-to-end performance of its private-label assortment within one of Amazon’s fastest-growing businesses in MENA. This is a commercial ownership role: category managers here aren’t just merchandising an existing catalog, they’re shaping what private-label products exist in the assortment, how they’re priced and positioned, and how well they perform against both customer expectations and margin targets.

The role carries real P&L accountability for the private-label category — pricing decisions, supplier and vendor management, and selection development all sit with this person. In quick commerce, assortment decisions matter more than in traditional retail because the catalog customers see is deliberately curated for speed and relevance rather than sheer breadth, so getting private-label selection right has an outsized effect on both margin and customer satisfaction. Expect close, regular collaboration with sourcing, supply chain, marketing, and finance teams to keep the category performing and to identify where new private-label opportunities exist.

This suits a commercially minded category or brand manager who enjoys owning a P&L and is comfortable moving fast in a business that’s still being built out. Experience in FMCG, grocery, or private-label retail is directly relevant, and genuine curiosity about what makes a private-label product actually win against branded alternatives is more valuable here than a purely process-driven merchandising background.

## Requirements

- Experience in category management, merchandising, or private-label/brand management, ideally in FMCG, grocery, or quick commerce

- Demonstrated P&L ownership, including pricing and margin management

- Vendor and supplier negotiation experience

- Strong analytical skills to guide assortment and selection decisions using sales and customer data

- Bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, or a related field

- Comfort working in a fast-paced, still-evolving business with high ownership expectations
