JOB OVERVIEW

We are a U.S.-based Amazon FBA business looking for an experienced Online Arbitrage product researcher who can deliver results immediately. This role is not training-based and has no ramp period. We are looking for someone confident in their ability to produce strong sourcing results from Day 1.

This position is best suited for researchers who are comfortable being measured on output and who have worked in fast-paced, numbers-driven sourcing roles before.

Performance Metric (DPP):
Performance in this role is measured using DPP (Daily Profit Potential).
DPP means the total estimated profit from approved ASINs purchased in one day.

Example:
If in one day the following ASINs are purchased:
• $20 profit × 3 units
• $15 profit × 3 units
• $10 profit × 4 units
• $8 profit × 5 units
• Several other ASINs at $5–$7 profit with 2–3 units each

And the combined profit adds up to $300, then your DPP for that day is $300. DPP is tracked daily and averaged over time to evaluate performance.

Trial Period:
All candidates who pass the written screening will complete a brief interview with our Operations Manager.
Candidates who pass the interview will then proceed to a paid one-week trial.
• Trial length: up to 5 working days (maximum 40 hours)
• Performance is evaluated from Day 1
• There is no training or ramp period

During the trial:
• Results are expected immediately and must be consistent through the week
• $200 average daily DPP is the minimum performance baseline
We reserve the right to end the trial early if performance is clearly below expectations.

Pay & Performance Upside:
This role is designed for researchers who want to be paid for results, not just hours.

Researchers who perform well earn monthly performance incentives based on DPP. Strong researchers in our business are able to reach $300+ average daily DPP, which results in meaningful monthly incentive pay.
$200 average daily DPP is the baseline. Any performance above $200 earns a monthly incentive.

Incentive formula:
(Average daily DPP above $200) × 20 working days × 15%
Example:
Average daily DPP = $300
That is $100 above baseline
$100 × 20 = $2,000
15% = $300 incentive for the month

The hourly base rate is set at a standard VA level, with higher earnings coming from performance-based incentives.
Monthly examples are for illustration only. Actual earnings depend on hours worked and DPP performance.
Sustained performance below expectations is subject to a performance improvement plan.

How to Apply (Required):
We use a written screening questionnaire as the first step. This is required.
Please complete the questionnaire at the link below:
