Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to your decision: a hands-on marketplace manager suits day-to-day catalog and account questions, while a director or vice president suits questions about team structure and P&L. Ask early whether their experience was mainly first-party through Vendor Central or third-party through Seller Central, since the operating model differs.
