Marketplace Manager – Selling Partner Growth – Amazon

Amazon’s third-party marketplace — the sellers who list and fulfil their own products alongside Amazon’s own retail catalog — is a major and fast-growing part of the business across the UAE. A Marketplace Manager focused on Selling Partner Growth owns a slice of that ecosystem: helping sellers succeed on the platform, growing strategic categories within the marketplace, and managing the overall health of the seller experience.

The role blends commercial ownership with hands-on partner management. Expect to work directly with selling partners on onboarding, growth strategies, and troubleshooting, while also analyzing category-level data to spot where the marketplace has room to grow and building the internal case for where to invest support and resources. It’s a role with real commercial accountability — success is measured in seller growth and category performance, not just activity.

It suits someone with a background in e-commerce, marketplace management, business development, or key account management who wants ownership over a defined slice of a large, fast-moving business. The best people in roles like this tend to combine a genuine interest in helping partners succeed with sharp commercial judgment about where to focus.

Given how central third-party sellers have become to Amazon’s overall retail offering in the UAE, this is a role with real visibility into one of the more strategically important parts of the business.

Selling partner growth is one of the more direct levers Amazon has on the breadth and competitiveness of its UAE marketplace — more successful sellers means a wider, fresher, more competitively priced selection for customers, and a stronger business for Amazon. A Marketplace Manager in this seat directly shapes that outcome: every seller who grows their catalog, improves their operational performance, or expands into a new category because of this role's support adds directly to marketplace health. Because the role also owns strategic category growth, decisions made here about where to focus support and resources ripple through to which parts of the marketplace expand fastest. In a business where the marketplace increasingly complements Amazon's own retail catalog, keeping selling partners engaged, growing, and operationally sound is not a peripheral function — it is a core part of how the UAE business competes. Because third-party sellers increasingly shape how complete and competitive the marketplace looks to customers, the standard this role sets for partner support has effects that reach well past any single seller account.

This role builds a genuinely well-rounded commercial skill set: partner relationship management, category-level strategic thinking, and data-driven decision making, all within the operating discipline of one of the world's largest e-commerce companies. Direct ownership over seller growth outcomes means tangible, demonstrable results to point to later — sellers grown, categories expanded, problems solved — which carries real weight on a CV in e-commerce, retail, or business development. Working closely with external partners while also navigating Amazon's internal category and category-support structures builds both external commercial instincts and internal organizational navigation skills, a combination that's valuable in almost any growth-oriented business. For someone who wants to move toward more senior commercial or general management roles, marketplace and selling partner experience at this scale is a strong credential, since it demonstrates comfort owning outcomes rather than just running processes. The marketplace and platform economy more broadly is a growing part of retail globally, so skills built here — partner enablement, category strategy, marketplace dynamics — stay relevant across a wide range of future employers, not just at Amazon. It also builds resilience and adaptability, since marketplace priorities and seller needs shift quickly, and learning to move with that pace is itself a durable career asset.
