# Vendor Manager – 1 year project , Apparel – Amazon

Amazon’s vendor management function is the commercial engine behind everything that shows up for sale on the apparel side of the marketplace — it’s the team that negotiates with, supports, and grows the brands and manufacturers who list their clothing on Amazon’s UAE storefront and across the wider GCC. This is a fixed-term, one-year Vendor Manager role focused specifically on the Apparel category, giving whoever takes it a defined, intensive stretch inside one of Amazon’s core retail categories.

The day-to-day mix is part account management, part commercial negotiation, part internal advocacy. Expect regular contact with vendor partners on pricing, inventory flow, and promotional planning, balanced against internal work — pulling sales and margin data, building the case for investment in a given brand or sub-category, and coordinating with marketing, supply chain, and catalog teams to keep the apparel assortment competitive. Because it’s Amazon, a lot of that internal work runs through data; this is not a role where instinct alone carries a business case.

It suits someone who already has retail buying, vendor management, or category management experience and wants to build a concentrated track record inside a company with Amazon’s scale and rigor, even on a fixed-term basis. People who do well in this kind of role tend to be equally comfortable in a vendor negotiation and in a data-heavy internal planning meeting.

For someone weighing a one-year Amazon vendor management stint, it’s worth noting that a defined project like this is often used as a proving ground — a strong track record here is frequently the springboard to a permanent category role.

## Requirements

- Experience in vendor management, category management, or retail buying, ideally within apparel or fashion retail

- Strong commercial negotiation skills and comfort managing vendor relationships end to end

- Analytical proficiency — Excel is essential, and familiarity with retail analytics or BI tools is a strong advantage

- Ability to work cross-functionally with marketing, supply chain, and catalog/content teams

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

- Comfort with a fixed-term (one-year) project structure and a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment

- Prior exposure to e-commerce or marketplace retail is a plus
