Here's the short version: this is a full-time, remote Product Listing Specialist role paying $45,000 a year, open to anyone regardless of location. If you've ever taken a messy product page and turned it into something that actually converts, keep reading.
The job centers on one thing done well and repeated often: making product listings that people can find and trust enough to buy from. That sounds simple until you're staring at your fortieth listing of the week and the client's product photos are all shot in different lighting.
Day to day, you'll
- Write and format product listings, including descriptions, titles, and bullet points
- Select and prep images for each listing so they're consistent and load properly
- Research keywords relevant to each product category and work them into the listing naturally
- Monitor how existing listings are performing in search and revise the ones that are underperforming
- Flag listings where the underlying product data (weight, dimensions, materials) looks wrong or incomplete
A high school diploma or its equivalent covers the education side of things. The role also wants a year of experience actually building and optimizing product listings, not just browsing e-commerce sites for fun. If you've spent 12 months in a similar seat, whether at an agency, a brand, or as a freelancer, that experience counts.
Skills that matter here
You'll need working comfort with common e-commerce platforms, a decent eye for product photography even if you're not the one holding the camera, real SEO keyword research ability, copywriting that reads naturally rather than like a keyword list, and enough attention to detail to catch a typo in a product weight before it goes live. A wrong dimension listed on a furniture page, for instance, turns into a return and a bad review three weeks later, so this part of the job carries more weight than it looks like on paper.
Beyond that baseline, a few extras help: prior experience on Amazon Seller Central or Etsy specifically, familiarity with a keyword research tool like Helium 10, and basic comfort in Canva for quick image touch-ups. None of these are dealbreakers if you're missing them.
What you'll get
The role includes health coverage, paid time off, and remote-work flexibility, along with life and disability insurance. Naukri Mitra lists this one alongside several other operations roles for the same employer, and the benefits structure matches what's standard across that group.
What makes someone good at this
The best listing specialists notice patterns other people miss. Someone on our team once caught that a client's top-selling mug kept losing search ranking every few weeks, traced it to a competitor repeatedly copying the exact keyword phrasing, and rewrote the listing with a different angle that got the ranking back within days. That's the kind of small, unglamorous detective work that fills most weeks in this role.
Expect some repetition. Not every listing is an interesting puzzle, and a chunk of the work is formatting the twentieth pair of earrings the same careful way you formatted the first. People who get restless with steady, detail-heavy work tend not to stick around here past the first couple of months.
Applying
Send along a couple of listing examples you've written or optimized, ideally with a note on what changed and how the listing's performance afterward. If you don't have formal work samples, a personal shop or side project listing works fine as a substitute. Given the remote setup, you'll want a computer capable of running basic photo-editing software and a stable connection for video calls during onboarding.
