Job Summary

As the Director of E-Commerce at Moultrie, you will be at the forefront of steering our retailer ecommerce platforms including Amazon, Walmart, and other significant digital shelves where our brand is represented. This leadership role encompasses comprehensive ownership of strategy formulation, profit and loss management, and primary decision-making responsibilities aimed at driving sustained growth and increased market presence across all retailer digital marketplaces.

Your strategic focus will predominantly be on Amazon, which commands approximately 80% of your attention, ensuring that each initiative optimizes customer acquisition cost (CAC) while maximizing revenue streams and profitability metrics. The remaining focus area covers Walmart.com and various other retailer channels, where you will apply the same level of analytical rigor and strategic foresight to deliver value and competitive advantage.

In addition to managing the dynamics between vendor and seller central channels, you will lead the integration of retailer ecommerce operations with direct-to-consumer (DTC) functions, expanding your team's capabilities and scope over time. This role offers the opportunity to influence the entire online buying experience from merchandising to marketing, while driving operational excellence and business scalability.

  • Lead content strategies enhancing Amazon listings, including A+ content creation and premium brand store management, to maintain leadership in category rankings.
  • Strategize pricing models and execute promotional initiatives aligned with key sales events such as Prime Day and Black Friday/Cyber Monday to maximize conversion rates and revenue spikes.
  • Determine the optimal mix between Vendor Central and Seller Central across product lines, adapting swiftly to market shifts to protect margins while maintaining control over brand representation.
  • Manage account health proactively by monitoring Buy Box ownership, addressing suppressed listings, combating unauthorized sellers, and enforcing MAP pricing and brand registry protections.
  • Oversee annual planning including detailed forecasting, budget allocations, and assortment planning to align cross-functional teams and streamline execution.
  • Lead new product launches with comprehensive asset planning, SEO integration, ad strategy deployment, and precise launch performance tracking.

Walmart.com and Other Retailer Ecommerce Channels (~20% Focus)
  • Maintain P&L accountability while developing channel-specific strategies for Walmart.com and other digital retailers including Bass Pro, Cabela's, and regional platforms.
  • Set rigorous performance targets focused on CAC and drive execution with the same discipline as Amazon initiatives.
  • Partner closely with sales directors to ensure seamless integration of drop-ship operations, inventory management, and customer service standards for optimized retailer collaboration.
  • Safeguard brand integrity consistently across platforms through stringent pricing policies, counterfeit deterrence, and high-quality content standards.
  • Lead budgeting and promotional decisions autonomously within all retailer ecommerce channels without need for escalation.

Cross-Functional Collaboration and Reporting

  • Demonstrated leadership in managing external vendors and consultants, with skills in assessing performance, redirecting scopes of work effectively, and enhancing internal team competencies.
  • Strong people management experience, including team building, performance management, and fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.
