Ecommerce Manager

Pegasus is one of Indias most established childrens publishing and play brands, with a fast-growing digital and D2C presence. Our ecosystem spans books, puzzles, games, and learning experiences, built around a clear belief: childhood should be screen-free, thoughtful, and meaningful .

We sell across Amazon India, Amazon US, FirstCry, and our own D2C platform (pegasusforkids.com) , supported by in-house performance marketing and cataloguing teams. We are now looking for a strong leader to own and scale this vertical.

We are hiring a Head E-Commerce & Marketplaces to own revenue, growth, and execution across all online channels .

This is a business leadership role , not an execution-only position.

You will:

• Own channel performance
• Lead internal teams
• Drive structured growth
• Bring predictability, discipline, and scale to our online business

Operations and warehousing are managed by a separate team, but you are expected to understand operations deeply enough to forecast, plan, and scale responsibly .

Key Responsibilities

1. Channel Ownership & Growth

• Full P&L ownership of:
• Amazon India
• Amazon US
• FirstCry
• Pegasusforkids.com (D2C Shopify)
• Drive topline growth while maintaining contribution margins
• Build clear growth roadmaps per channel (not one-size-fits-all)

2. Marketplace Strategy & Execution

• Amazon expertise is non-negotiable:
• Ads strategy alignment with performance team
• Deal planning, Prime events, seasonal pushes
• Keyword, category, and portfolio optimisation
• Scale Amazon US with a long-term view (catalogue, reviews, compliance, logistics awareness)
• Manage FirstCry as a strategic institutional channel, not just a dumping ground

3. D2C Leadership (pegasusforkids.com)

Own conversion, AOV, repeat rate, and retention

Work closely with:

• Performance marketing team
• Catalogue/content team
• CRM & lifecycle marketing (email, WhatsApp, loyalty)

Turn D2C into a brand-building and data-owning engine , not just another sales channel

4. Team Leadership

Lead and manage:

• Performance marketing team (strategy alignment, not execution overlap)
• Catalogue & listing team

Set KPIs, dashboards, weekly rhythms, and accountability

Build a culture of ownership and clarity, not firefighting

5. Business & Data Orientation

Forecast demand and growth in sync with operations and finance

Track:

• Channel-wise profitability
• CAC, ROAS, contribution margins
• Inventory velocity and sell-through logic

Identify early signals before problems show up in revenue
