Vendor Manager – Amazon – Toronto, ON

Amazon.ca’s Consumables team is looking for a sharp, self-driven Vendor Manager to join their Vendor Management team in Toronto, Ontario. This is a General Management career path role that puts you at the centre of some of Canada’s most exciting retail categories — Beauty, Grocery, Health and Personal Care, and Baby — working directly with top-tier vendor partners to grow a sustainable, high-performing business.

In this role, you’ll be the connective tissue between Amazon.ca and its vendor partners, using data analytics, sharp negotiation skills, and cross-functional collaboration to drive category performance. You’ll have real ownership over P&L management, product launches, pricing strategy, and selection — making this an ideal position for someone who thrives when given responsibility and accountability.

About the Role: Vendor Manager, Canada Consumables

Day to day, the Vendor Manager works across multiple internal teams — including site merchandising, buying, pricing, inventory management, operations, online marketing, and finance — to optimise product line performance for key manufacturers on Amazon.ca. You’ll conduct analytical deep dives to inform category growth strategies, define vendor-level initiatives, and ensure that both top-line and profitability targets are being met. The Consumables vertical is a core growth engine for Amazon Canada Retail, so the stakes are real and the impact is meaningful.

Beyond vendor relationships, this role offers broad exposure to online merchandising, business analytics, forecasting, and planning — giving you a well-rounded foundation for advancement into more senior roles across Marketing, Merchandising, Product Management, or Inventory Management at Amazon. Collaboration and customer obsession are at the heart of how this team operates.

Benefits and Salary

This position offers a base salary range of $61,400 to $102,600 CAD annually for the Toronto location, with final compensation determined by experience, qualifications, and location. As a total compensation company, Amazon’s package may also include sign-on payments and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The benefits package includes health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, basic life and AD&D insurance), a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP), paid time off, and additional resources to support health and well-being.

Responsibilities

The Vendor Manager role spans several critical business functions, requiring a blend of analytical rigour and relationship management. You’ll be expected to own outcomes — not just tasks — making cross-functional alignment and vendor trust equally important parts of the job.

• Manage P&L for assigned vendor categories, ensuring profitability and top-line performance targets are met
• Lead vendor negotiations to improve value, selection, and overall business terms for Amazon.ca
• Drive new product launches in collaboration with vendor partners across Beauty, Grocery, Health & Personal Care, and Baby categories
• Own key business functions including pricing strategy, selection optimisation, and profitability management at the team level
• Define growth strategies at both the vendor and category level to support the Consumables team’s broader objectives
• Conduct analytical deep dives to surface insights that inform category direction and vendor performance improvements
• Collaborate cross-functionally with site merchandising, buying, pricing, inventory management, operations, online marketing, and finance teams

Requirements / Skills

This role suits someone with a strong background in retail, operations, or business management who is comfortable with both data analysis and high-stakes negotiations. Amazon values candidates who demonstrate customer obsession, a bias for action, and the ability to work autonomously in a fast-moving environment.

• Bachelor’s degree required as a foundational qualification
• 5+ years of experience in retail, operations, product or program management, or business management/consulting with a track record of delivering results
• Vendor negotiation experience, ideally including pricing, promotion, inventory management, and product development
• Proficiency in Excel and experience extracting data through varied reporting tools to support business decisions
