Director of Marketplaces

United States

About Us:
Comfrt is one of the fastest-growing direct-to-consumer brands, dedicated to blending mental wellness, inclusivity, and elevated comfort into every piece we create. Our mission goes beyond clothing — we strive to build a community where everyone feels supported and seen. 

About the Job:
Own marketplaces as a strategic growth engine and standalone P&L portfolio — balancing revenue, profitability, brand
integrity, and long-term enterprise value across Amazon and emerging marketplaces (Faire and the platforms that
follow). You will anchor the playbook on Amazon — the largest and most mature platform — while building the
go-to-market strategy to launch and scale the next wave of marketplaces, US and international.

You will lead a full-stack marketplace operation — combining operational rigor, commercial strategy, retail media
expertise, and catalog management — to drive scalable, profitable growth. You bring deep, hands-on experience
running Amazon at scale for a high-growth DTC business — building the foundations and scaling beyond $100M
GMV — and the strategic range to extend that discipline across a multi-marketplace portfolio with FAIRE and beyond.

You will partner with Paid Media, Marketing, Ops, Merchandising, Finance, CX, Data & Insights, and
Performance-Led Creative to ensure marketplaces not only grow but operate efficiently, strengthen the brand as
standalone platforms, and create halo effect into DTC and other channels.

  • Build and manage annual operating plans, forecasts, and inventory strategy aligned with company targets.
  • Decide participation in tentpole events (Prime Day, Walmart Deals, Holiday, platform deal events), balancing growth and profitability.
  • Partner with leadership to align marketplace strategy with DTC, brand, and enterprise goals.
  • Build and grow marketing and growth across FAIRE and other platforms

Operations & Inventory

  • Own the wholesale model and Inventory for FAIRE, along with efficiency

  • Optimize supply chain efficiency, coordinating with central ops, 3PLs, and vendors.

Retail Media & Advertising

  • Set keyword/ASIN strategy (harvest, defend, conquest) and ad budget allocation across the portfolio.
  • Develop commercial strategy to achieve TACoS, incrementality, new-to-brand growth, and media-driven profitability.
  • Partner with paid media and Ecomm/SEO teams to drive conversion lift and organic ranking through ad strategy.
  • Secure access to betas and evaluate new paid products across platforms.

Catalog & Listing Management

  • Oversee storefronts and catalog health across marketplaces to ensure full optimization.
  • Ensure platform compliance is understood and adhered to, minimizing risk of deranking or suppression; set up Brand Registry with the Brand Protection team and proactively protect IP on-platform.
  • Monitor algorithm changes and category trends to keep listings competitive on every platform. 

Analytics, Measurement & Insight

  • Define and track portfolio KPIs — GMV, TACoS, contribution margin, organic rank, inventory turns, in-stock rates — partnering with Data & Insights on reporting that surfaces opportunities to scale.
  • Identify the levers that drive performance efficiently, achieving positive net contribution per platform and incremental enterprise impact.
  • Identify growth opportunities, evaluate trade-offs, and test new approaches across ads, pricing, and promotions.

Team Leadership & Collaboration

  • Build, lead, and mentor the marketplace team (Ops, Media, Catalog) across platforms, including a Manager, Amazon and a Manager, Emerging Marketplaces.
  • Manage agencies and external partners as needed.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Marketing, Growth, Performance-Led Creative, Inventory, and Supply Chain to align portfolio strategy and execution. 

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years running Amazon (or a comparable marketplace) at scale for a high-growth DTC brand, including direct P&L ownership past $100M GMV.
  • Hands-on fluency in 1P/3P strategy, FBA/FBM/AWD, retail media (Sponsored Products/Brands/Display, DSP), and catalog/compliance management.
  • Experience standing up a new marketplace or channel from scratch — or clear appetite to do so (Faire, international marketplaces, etc.).
  • Track record building and leading a team of managers/specialists across ops, media, and catalog.
  • Comfortable operating as a strategic partner to a Senior Director — owning execution independently while keeping portfolio strategy aligned.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
