Brand Growth Strategist

Who we are
Purple Pepper Commerce was born out of a desire to live on our own terms and a belief that growth should be limited only by our creativity. We build, manage, and invest in eCommerce marketplace brands. The projects in which we engage are fun, exciting and challenge us to grow. 

Today, Purple Pepper is actively developing a playbook for how to turn marketplace channels, primarily Amazon to start, into a global growth engine for brands of all shapes and sizes.

Who you are
You look for patterns and constant improvement. You’re able to see both the micro and the macro, zooming back and forth between the details. You love connecting dots to create new connections. Curiosity & persistence are your defining traits. 

You’re not afraid of taking bold action. You use analytics to guide your decision, but ultimately lead with your gut. When achieving your outcomes you are not limited by a lack of resources, only your creativity. You’re highly ambitious, while also humble. When solving problems, you tend to seek out high leverage points for growth and bottlenecks in processes, as these often lead to victory. You love supporting people and seeing growth in all things. 

When faced with ambiguity, you see an opportunity to take ownership. You operate from first principles and strive to uncover the root of both opportunities and problems.
