Are you looking to scale one of India's fastest-growing global wearable brands from right here in Bangalore?
At Ultrahuman, our in-house AI-platform already does the heavy lifting across 100+ countries leaving you to ditch the bloated corporate headcount and actually build.
If the challenge of managing a massive, multi-country Amazon P&L; with a lean team and cutting-edge AI excites you, read on.
Role: Head of Marketplaces
Location: Begur, Bengaluru
Schedule: Hybrid.
About Ultrahuman:
Ultrahuman is one of the world's fastest-growing wearable companies. The Ultrahuman Ring AIR the world's lightest sleep-tracking smart ring sells in 100+ countries. We operate like a product company in every function, and marketplaces is no exception: our Amazon business across the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, India, the UAE and beyond runs on uh-amazon, an in-house platform we built ourselves.
Why this role exists
Most marketplace-head roles are dashboard jobs with a layer of geo managers underneath. This one is the inverse. The platform already surfaces what is wrong, everywhere, every day. Your job is to decide and to lead a tiny team that acts on pricing, on the channel model for each geo, on the ads turnaround and to keep the team tiny by pushing routine work back onto the platform.
What you'll own
- The global P&L; every Amazon geo plus Flipkart, noon, and quick-commerce partners; the number is yours
- Pricing and promotions discounts, coupons, MAP enforcement, and price-match decisions across all geos
- Channel-model decisions self-run 3P vs 1P/vendor vs distributor sell-in,
geo by geo; several need this call in your first quarter
- The ads turnaround — your first mandate is to fix the loss-making spend in the largest geos and take ownership of advertising efficiency
- A team of three to four — two operators (you hire them), a platform engineer, and a part-time claims function
- New-marketplace launches — under a straightforward filter: real demand, a partner-operated model by default, clear economics, and a named owner; never a launch without one
- Agent-write approvals — as the platform earns the right to act (ads changes, repricing, listing pushes), you own the guardrails and the gates
Your first 90 days
- Days 1–30 — Learn the machine. Run with the platform's daily briefs. Audit the biggest ads accounts yourself. Meet the 1P, distributor, and agency relationships. Sit with the engineer on what the agents can and cannot do.
- Days 31–60 — Take the controls. Pricing authority moves to you. The ads turnaround shows its first month of recovered spend. Both operator hires are made.
- Days 61–90 — Set the trajectory. Publish the 12-month plan: the channel model per geo, the growth bets, and the write-automation roadmap with your engineer.
What we're looking for
- 5+ years running marketplace or e-commerce P&Ls; across multiple geographies — at a brand, an aggregator, or leading accounts at a top agency — with direct ownership of outcomes
- Hands-on Seller Central depth — you have personally restructured campaigns, fixed suppressed listings, fought brand-registry cases, and run promotions; we will test this live
- Genuine fluency with LLM systems — you have personally written and iterated prompts and can read code well enough to review an agent's behavior; we will test this live too
- Lean-org conviction — at least one concrete example of solving a scale problem with systems instead of headcount, with numbers
- Data fluency — you can interrogate a funnel, spot a regression, and call out a vanity metric; SQL comfort helps
Strongly preferred
- Aggregator experience (Mensa, GlobalBees, 10Club, Evenflow and the like) — running many brands across many geos with a small team
- Vendor/1P and distributor-model experience, not just 3P
- You have shipped something with LLM APIs yourself — a tool, an automation, an eval harness; a public GitHub is a genuine plus
- Consumer hardware or D2C background
Not required
- A specific degree, or any degree — we will not ask
- A prior "Head of" title — if you have been the de-facto operator of a multi-geo marketplace P&L; and are ready for the full mandate, apply; the live exercise outranks the resume
- A wearables background — we will teach you the product; we cannot teach judgment
