A Product Sourcing Expert is typically responsible for finding, negotiating and purchasing materials from vendors in order to deliver the goods or services to their clients.

Product sourcing experts do a lot of research in order to find suppliers that can meet the client's expectations and requirements for quality, price, and delivery dates. They are also tasked with finding opportunities to increase product profits as well as making sure products are sourced sustainably and ethically. Furthermore, they need to assess vendors and make sure they meet all needed criteria while managing relationships with multiple vendors.

Product sourcing experts are also expected to create market intelligence reports by researching trends in online and offline channels which helps the client get the most out of their purchasing decisions while having a better understanding of their industry rivals. Additionally, they need to collect and analyze data that helps with price extrapolations as well as understanding customer behavior.

    I need a detail-oriented virtual assistant who can uncover profitable Electronics opportunities for my Amazon FBA store using the online-arbitrage model. Your daily task will be to scan Amazon itself for price gaps and resale potential, spot low-competition listings, and record qualified leads in a shared Google Sheet. To make the cut you should already know how to combine Keepa, SellerAmp SAS, RevSeller, or similar chrome extensions to judge sales rank, buy box history, profit per unit, and minimum 30 % ROI. Experience with tactical-arbitrage style workflows or reverse-sourcing on Amazon is a plus—please highlight that experience when you apply, as this is the single most important factor for me. Deliverables (uploaded each business day): • 5–10 fresh Electronics lead...
