Amazon / e-commerce marketplace manager

Changing

A marketplace manager runs products on selling platforms such as Amazon and Etsy: listings, prices, reviews, inventory. The platforms have started building in tools that draft descriptions and replies, so the person who manages the product range and the numbers is the one who's valued.

What changes

  1. Descriptions, replies to customers and infographics take minutes, including with the platforms' built-in tools.

  2. One person can run more listings, and the role of sales and inventory analytics grows.

  3. Product photos in different scenes can be made without a shoot, but a person checks that the image is accurate.

AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

AI makes the draft

What AI does

  • Writes listing descriptions and titles with the keywords shoppers search for
  • Drafts replies to customer reviews and messages, matched to the tone and the rating
  • Makes product photos on a clean background and in lifestyle scenes
  • Reads reviews and finds the most common complaints
  • Summarizes a sales export and suggests what to restock
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • Choosing the product range, prices and promotions
  • Honest listings: size, materials and what's in the box must match the product
  • Relationships with suppliers and the warehouse
  • Decisions on disputes and returns
