Amazon Marketplace Jobs UK | 6 Proven Roles & Pay
The roles, salary ranges, skills employers want, and how to get hired
Amazon marketplace jobs are among the fastest-growing roles in UK eCommerce, as brands and retailers pour investment into selling on Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop and other third-party channels. These roles run the commercial side of a marketplace: listings and content, pricing and buy-box strategy, advertising and PPC, inventory and fulfilment, and the profit each channel returns. A good marketplace hire can add a whole new revenue stream, which is why demand and pay have both climbed. In the UK a Marketplace Manager typically earns £35,000 to £50,000, with executives starting near £24,000 and heads of marketplace reaching £90,000.
Demand is strong across brands, retailers and agencies, and specialists who know the Amazon ecosystem inside out are hard to find. This guide breaks down the main Amazon marketplace jobs, what they pay by level, the skills employers want, and how to get hired. Read the detail below, then send us your CV.

Section 01
The Main Amazon Marketplace Jobs
Marketplace roles sit at the crossroads of commercial, marketing and operations. They own how a brand sells on Amazon and other third-party channels: the listings customers see, the ads that win the buy box, the price and margin on every SKU, and the stock behind it. Titles vary between brands and agencies, but most Amazon marketplace jobs fall into these six shapes.

Section 03 · By Specialism
Pay by Specialism
Your specialism shapes your pay. Advertising and P&L ownership carry a premium, and people who pair hands-on Amazon skills with commercial results sit at the top of every band. Here is how UK pay compares across the most common marketplace specialisms in 2026.
| Specialism | UK range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Account Manager | £35k to £55k | Seller and Vendor Central, full account |
| Amazon PPC / Advertising Specialist | £32k to £50k | Sponsored ads, ACoS, DSP a plus |
| Marketplace Manager (multi-channel) | £38k to £55k | Amazon plus eBay, TikTok Shop and more |
| Marketplace Brand Manager | £42k to £62k | Owns channel P&L, A+ content and Stores |
| Head of Marketplace | £65k to £90k+ | Strategy and team leadership |
Amazon Advertising is one of the busiest specialisms, and strong PPC people are in short supply. If paid media is your lane, our PPC jobs guide covers the wider paid market, and our eCommerce jobs hub maps every function.

How to Get Hired
1
Get hands-on Seller Central experience
Real time inside Seller or Vendor Central is what employers screen for. Even running a small brand, side listing or work-placement account shows you can handle listings, cases and reports.
2
Learn Amazon Advertising properly
PPC is where marketplace roles create the clearest value. Understand Sponsored Products, ACoS and TACoS, and be ready to talk about a campaign you improved. The certifications help, but results speak loudest.
3
Show commercial results
Marketplace employers hire for growth. Lead with numbers: revenue you grew, ACoS you cut, buy-box share you won, or a channel you launched. Tie every point back to margin and sales.
4
Work with a specialist recruiter
Good marketplace talent is scarce, and many of the best Amazon marketplace jobs go through specialists first. A specialist recruiter sees them early and matches you to the right level. Send us your CV to get started.
Section 05
Where the Amazon Marketplace Jobs Are
Amazon marketplace jobs split broadly between in-house brands, marketplace agencies and the retailers and distributors selling across many channels. In-house roles at a brand give you deep ownership of one catalogue and its P&L; agencies offer variety across many client accounts and categories, and are a strong place to learn fast; and larger retailers hire whole marketplace teams. Consumer goods, home, beauty, electronics and health are among the busiest categories, and pay is strongest where the role owns growth and margin.
Hybrid working is common, and many marketplace roles are open UK-wide or fully remote, since the work lives in Seller Central and the ad console rather than a warehouse. If you are exploring the wider market, our eCommerce jobs hub maps every function, and our remote eCommerce jobs guide covers the most flexible roles.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
01How much do Amazon marketplace jobs pay in the UK?
Amazon marketplace jobs in the UK pay from around £24,000 for a Marketplace Executive to £90,000 and above for a Head of Marketplace. A Marketplace Manager typically earns £35,000 to £50,000, an Amazon Account Manager £35,000 to £55,000, and an Amazon PPC Specialist £32,000 to £50,000. London and P&L ownership push pay higher.
02What does a Marketplace Manager do?
A Marketplace Manager owns how a brand sells across Amazon and other channels such as eBay and TikTok Shop. That covers listings and content, pricing and buy-box strategy, advertising, inventory and forecasting, and the growth and margin each channel returns. It is a commercial role as much as an operational one, and often carries revenue targets.
03What skills do you need for Amazon marketplace jobs?
Employers want hands-on Seller Central or Vendor Central experience, a solid grasp of Amazon Advertising (Sponsored Products, ACoS and TACoS), and buy-box, listing and content know-how. Add strong Excel and analytics, an eye for margin and inventory, and commercial judgement. Multi-channel experience across eBay, TikTok Shop and others is a bonus.
04How do I get into a marketplace or Amazon career?
Start by getting real Seller Central experience, even on a small or side account, and learn Amazon Advertising properly. Apply for Marketplace Executive or Assistant roles to get in, then grow into manager level as you show results. Agencies are a fast place to learn across many accounts. Lead with numbers and work with a specialist recruiter, as many roles are filled through networks first.
05Are Amazon marketplace jobs in demand?
Yes. As more brands and retailers invest in selling on Amazon and other marketplaces, demand for specialists who can run those channels profitably keeps growing. People with hands-on Amazon and advertising experience are in short supply, which keeps pay competitive and opens clear routes to progress.
06Are marketplace roles remote or office based?
Many are hybrid or fully remote, since the work lives in Seller Central, the ad console and spreadsheets rather than a warehouse. Agencies and larger brands often ask for a couple of office days a week, while plenty of roles are open UK-wide. Remote-friendly marketplace roles are common and growing.
