Founding Manager - Accounts at Equal Collective
About Us
We're building AI employees for Amazon management - starting with Jeff, our AI sales rep who sends 3x more emails and books 5x more meetings at half the cost of traditional reps.
Jeff's just the beginning. We're creating AI agents for PPC, listings, reviews, pricing - all the repetitive tasks that eat up hours. The goal: let AI handle the grunt work so people can focus on strategy and growth.
The Role
We need a Founding Account Manager to manage Amazon accounts end-to-end. You'll handle Ad campaigns, listing optimization, inventory planning, and performance reporting - the full scope of growing brands on Amazon.
As a founding member, you'll also document your workflows and identify what should be automated next. Your daily work shapes our product roadmap. This is hands-on account management with direct impact on product development. You'll deliver real results for clients while building the playbook for scale.
Core Responsibilities
Day-to-Day Execution
Manage brand accounts end-to-end (Ads, listings, inventory)
Execute daily tasks - adjust ad spend, coordinate design changes, optimize listings
Handle client communication and deliver results
Monitor and optimize marketing campaigns.
Manage reviews, ratings, and competitor tracking
Run product launches and promotional campaigns
NOTE: We are not looking for someone who already knows this, we will teach. But looking for someone who would enjoy doing this work for brands on Amazon US.
Building for Scale
Identify repetitive workflows and document them as SOPs
Collaborate with tech/product team to build AI agents from these workflows
Test and integrate AI tools into daily operations
Balance doing the work with building systems to scale it
Founding Team Responsibilities
Build AI+Human Workflows: Determine what AI does best (data analysis, pattern recognition) vs. humans (strategy, relationships). Test, break, rebuild these workflows weekly
Test Pricing Models: Run experiments with pay-per-ROAS, success fees, flat fees. Track which models align incentives and scale
Deep Learning Approach: Don't just execute - understand WHY things work. Question every "best practice." Document insights that become our competitive advantage
Direct Founder Access: Weekly sessions to discuss learnings, pivot strategies, and make rapid decisions without bureaucracy
Shape the Product: Your daily frustrations become product features. Your workflows become AI agents
Who You Are
Must-Haves
Already using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude) in your daily workflow
Speed of execution - you get things done, not just talk about them
Comfortable with chaos and ambiguity
Strong written and verbal communication
What We Value More Than Experience
First Principles > Experience: We'd rather hire someone who asks "why does PPC work this way?" than someone who just knows the platform
Learning Velocity > Current Knowledge: Show us how you went from zero to competent at something complex recently
Systems Thinking > Task Execution: See patterns, not just problems
Intellectual Curiosity: Get excited about understanding the mechanics behind Amazon's algorithm, not just gaming it
You'll Thrive Here If
You read documentation for fun and ask "how would I rebuild this better?"
You've taught yourself something complex using AI tools
You see repetitive work as a puzzle to solve, not just a task to complete
You can explain complex things simply because you understand them deeply
You're comfortable being wrong and changing your mind with new data
You view grunt work as opportunities to build something scalable
This Role Is NOT For You If
You want a pure strategy role without execution
You expect others to handle the "dirty work"
You're looking for work-life balance (this is a founding role)
You prefer established processes and clear boundaries
You see AI as a threat rather than a multiplier
You cannot work US time zone (at least till 1am IST)
