Senior Analyst

We seek a rising-star senior analyst to join the founding team at a stealth-mode venture that aims to discover, acquire and integrate undervalued brands on Amazon.

Over the past seven years, Philip Butler’s team at Veya has built a thriving tech-enabled Amazon marketplace business. Now a leading seller on Amazon with annual revenue approaching $100M, Veya improves access to high-quality products for customers all around the world.  The success of Veya's business hinges on its unique data infrastructure and deep analytics expertise. Outside of Amazon itself, the Veya team has an unparalleled analytical understanding of the Amazon marketplace. 
Philip is now launching a separate venture that capitalizes on Veya’s best-in-class assets to quickly roll up many undervalued and undermanaged brands on Amazon. The scope of the opportunity is dramatic: there are close to 200,000 small brands on Amazon that do more than $100,000 in annual revenue. These brands are selling at ~2x earnings on the business broker market. We plan to build a robust organization that can identify, acquire, improve, and professionally manage a large number of these smaller brands.  Our goal is ambitious: to complete 50 transactions in the first year and achieve a 9 figure valuation by year three.
As the team’s first senior analyst, you will work closely with Philip and other founding team members to plan and execute the bold vision. This is a rare entrepreneurial opportunity: quickly building something big from scratch with unusually strong tailwinds and existing assets; learning by doing alongside an experienced CEO; and taking on stretch opportunities to lead different pieces of work. Success in this role will produce a truly distinctive business in one of the most dynamic marketplaces in today’s world.
