About Goods iQ
Some companies follow trends. We set them.
Goods iQ develops smart consumer products — and we love winning on Amazon. Our portfolio of iconic brands includes Bostitch® Office Products, PaperPro®, LockerMate®, PureOptics™ LED Lighting, and Spec Ops™ Tools. Behind every one of them is a team of makers, creators, and category disruptors who move fast, think big, and hold themselves to an uncomfortably high standard.

The Role
Own the Amazon business. Build the playbook. Drive the results.
Goods iQ is scaling fast — and Amazon is a critical growth engine. We need a Director of eCommerce who doesn’t just manage the account, but owns it completely: strategy, P&L, advertising, content, operations, and team.
This is one of the most visible roles in the company. You’ll operate at the intersection of sales, product development, marketing, finance, and supply chain — leading cross-functional efforts that directly impact top-line growth and bottom-line profitability.
We hire owners, not order-takers. If you’re the type who sees a gap and fills it, raises your hand when something’s broken, and takes personal accountability for outcomes — this role was built for you.
