New products are a key element of KLIM’s strategy. Over the past 2 years, we’ve launched 4 new brands and over 130 new products. And it’s only the beginning as we should at least double that number in 2024!
To help us manage and optimize this growth, we’re looking for a Brand & Operations manager.
You will report to the COO.
You will be responsible for driving the sales performance of your portfolio of new products.
- (a) a deep understanding of the market
- (b) comprehensive knowledge of all processes involved and
- (c) the ability to use your skill set to develop and execute a winning strategy at a product level.
At KLIM, we strongly believe that details are everything. We strongly value operational excellence. In most companies, everyone is running around extinguishing fires of their own making and applying superficial band-aids to problems, and they are often celebrated for it.
We strive to work differently, go to the root causes of issues we face, and apply long-term solutions.
You will be assigned a product portfolio and your responsibilities will include:
- Decide the price and marketing strategy at a product level keeping customer interests in mind.
- Analyse product performance frequently and arrive at logical conclusions.
- Constantly course correct in response to the market. Speed is key.
- Coordinate with the production and logistics teams to ensure that sufficient inventories are available to meet sales targets.
- Communicate your decisions clearly to the team.
You’ll also have a view and a word on the company’s new products development strategy.
There is a ton of room for growth in this position. You can expect to be involved in highly strategic subjects early on (marketing & advertising strategy, new products development, etc.).
But don’t worry - it will only come after proper training!
We hire mostly for abilities, as we strongly believe that with a willingness to learn a person can quickly get up to speed, but these would give you a starting advantage:
- Good with numbers.
- Able to work on spreadsheets (VLOOKUP and SUMIFS are a must but honestly self-training on this is quite easy: Youtube is your friend).
- Able to make sensible decisions based on various data points (revenue, profit, advertising spend, price, inventory…)
- Detail-oriented: Amazon operations are complex, details are everything.
- Able to come up with creative tactics to boost your product’s performance (in many situations, there’s no procedure to follow so you’ll have to come up with your own solutions - how exciting!).
- Curious & eager to learn.
- Knowledge of Pay-per-Click advertising is a big plus, but not mandatory.
- Working understanding of basic business principles like Gross Profit, Return on Investment, and Cost of Goods Sold is a plus.
- Working understanding of basic operational principles like Days of Inventory is a plus.
