About the job
Playway Books is looking for someone to own the digital shelf — every online channel the Playbook is sold through, from the listing and the advertising to the stock, the orders and the reporting. The book has been in print since 1996 and it is taught from in schools that found it by word of mouth. Online, it has largely been found the same way. This role is the end of that: a channel that is run rather than watched. You would run the complete lifecycle of Playway Books' online sales: listing and optimising the catalogue, planning and running sponsored advertising, holding stock and account health, processing orders, returns and refunds, and reporting what all of it did. You would report to the Managing Director and work directly with the design and print partners. It is part-time, performance-linked and worked from home, and it grows in scope as new playbooks launch. Targets
• Annual target — 5,000 copies sold online
- Annual target — 5,000 copies sold online
- Quarterly target — 1,250 copies
- Monthly run-rate — About 417 copies
- Reviewed — Monthly against run-rate, quarterly against 1,250, annually against 5,000
- Incentive — Uncapped — it does not stop at target
• Online revenue against target.
- Online revenue against target.
- Sell-through and GMV growth across channels.
- Advertising efficiency — total advertising cost of sale, and return on ad spend.
- In-stock rate and platform account health.
- Listing conversion rate.
• Carry the monthly, quarterly and annual online sales targets, and work to them without being chased.
- Carry the monthly, quarterly and annual online sales targets, and work to them without being chased.
- Run daily operations on Amazon Seller Central and Flipkart Seller Hub, and on the quick-commerce dashboards — Blinkit and Zepto.
- Keep account health and policy compliance clean on every platform, and resolve escalations before they cost a listing.
- Write and optimise the listings — titles, keywords, images, enhanced brand content — so that the page a buyer lands on says what the book actually does.
- Read the reviews and ratings, answer them, and act on what they tell you about the listing.
- Plan and run sponsored advertising: keywords, bids and budgets, managed to a target cost of sale and an improving return on ad spend.
- Watch competitor pricing and placements, hold share-of-search, and protect the margin.
- Track stock in and out, plan replenishment, and prevent both a stock-out and an oversell.
- Oversee order processing, dispatch coordination, returns, refunds and reconciliation.
- Keep the sales, advertising and inventory reporting current in a spreadsheet, with a forecast against it, and benchmark it against competitors.
- List each new playbook as it launches, and find the channels — quick commerce, bookstore aggregators — that widen distribution.
- Handle the catalogue updates and documentation behind the listings and campaigns, and coordinate stock, pricing and listing changes with the design and print partners and the Managing Director.
• Hands-on experience running a seller account on Amazon or Flipkart — listings, advertising and account health, not order dispatch alone.
- Hands-on experience running a seller account on Amazon or Flipkart — listings, advertising and account health, not order dispatch alone.
- You can run a sponsored ads campaign and say afterwards what you changed and why the numbers moved.
- Comfortable in Excel or Google Sheets: a real report and a forecast, not a screenshot of a dashboard.
- Written English good enough for a listing that has to convince a parent and a teacher in the same paragraph.
- Enough of an eye to keep imagery and copy on brand, working with the design partner rather than around them.
- Self-directed. It is part-time and from home; nobody counts the hours, only the books.
- In or near Kochi, and able to meet the Managing Director and the print partner when stock needs it.
- A fixed monthly amount, paid whether or not the incentive lands.
- An uncapped incentive on net sales — it keeps paying above target.
- A bonus each quarter the target is met, and one for the year.
- Work from home, in Kochi, on your own hours.
- Scope that grows with the list: every new playbook is another line on the same shelf.
