Our client in the UK is looking for an experienced and commercially driven Amazon Advertising Strategist to shape and lead the strategic direction of our Amazon Ads function.

This is a strategy-first role. You will own the roadmap, define testing priorities and drive structured experimentation across Amazon Advertising. Our Ads Maintenance Team executes and you will design the frameworks, testing plans and optimisation direction that scale performance.

You will ensure we stay ahead across AMC (Amazon Marketing Cloud), audience strategy, emerging ad formats and automation, delivering measurable improvements in revenue, efficiency and contribution.

The focus is on strategy, innovation and performance impact. As the function grows, there is clear potential to step into a broader leadership role.

This role suits someone who combines deep platform expertise with strong commercial judgement and a disciplined testing mindset.
