About The Role

Amazon UAE is seeking a smart, enthusiastic, driven, and creative candidate to join as a Senior Vendor Manager for our Beverages category.

This is a uniquely complex and high-impact role that spans the full spectrum of the beverages business. You'll manage everything from mass-market water (navigating ultra-low ASP economics and vendor flex models) to premium coffee (requiring sophisticated pricing strategies and margin management) to juices (demanding curated global selection to delight customers). This breadth requires exceptional versatility, strategic thinking, and the ability to balance volume-driven and margin-focused approaches simultaneously.

This role requires managing and owning the Grocery P&L for beverages categories across Core, ANOW, and Rush channels within the 325 GL. You will be accountable for driving profitability across diverse product segments—transforming low ASP categories into profitable engines through innovative vendor partnerships, while scaling premium segments through world-class selection and customer experience.

Within This Role, You Will

Navigate complexity at scale: Balance the economics of high-volume, low-margin water with premium, high-margin coffee and specialty beverages

Build strategic vendor partnerships: Develop long-term relationships that unlock profitability in challenging low ASP segments while securing exclusive premium brands

Drive global selection: Source the world's best juice and beverage brands to create a compelling, differentiated customer offering

Own end-to-end P&L: Manage profitability across multiple channels (Core, ANOW, Rush) with different cost structures and customer expectations

Innovate relentlessly: Identify and implement creative solutions to improve margins, selection, and customer satisfaction

What We're Looking For

We are seeking a business leader with a broad skill-set that demonstrates:

Analytical horsepower and data-driven decision-making capabilities to navigate complex, multi-segment P&L management

Excellent business judgment and strategic thinking to balance competing priorities across diverse product portfolios

Strong vendor management and negotiation skills to build win-win partnerships that drive profitability

Deep curiosity to uncover how things work and drive continuous improvement across the value chain

Adaptability and versatility to thrive in a role that demands both volume-scale thinking and premium brand curation

Passion for creating a world-class shopping experience for our customers

You will work with vendors of all sizes—from local water suppliers to global coffee brands—and must have the leadership presence and communication skills to represent Amazon at all levels of these organizations.

Required experience: Business analytics, strategic thinking, negotiations, operations, and P&L management.

Why This Role Matters

Beverages is one of the most dynamic and challenging categories in Grocery. Success requires mastering the art of profitability in low-margin, high-velocity segments while simultaneously building a premium, differentiated selection that customers love. If you're energized by complexity, driven by results, and passionate about building something exceptional, this is your opportunity to make a significant impact.
