Is an E-commerce marketing job permissible in Islam?

Walekumussalam warahmatullahi wabaraktu,

Such a job as a marketing manager in an e-commerce company (like Amazon/Ebay type) is basically permissible, because buying and selling is a halal activity. Managing sales, giving offers, and encouraging sellers are also generally allowed.

However, a few things should be kept in mind:

If your job is only to organize sales, give discounts, and do general promotion, then there is no problem in it.

But if the job includes things like:

Promoting haram items (such as alcohol), or

Promoting non-Muslim religious festivals (like New Year, Christmas) in a way that shows respect or support for them, for example using slogans like “Happy New Year”

Then in such cases, it is better to avoid these things.

If the company allows you to use neutral words, such as:

“Year-End Sale”

“Mega Sale”

Then there is flexibility, and you can do this job.

However, if the company forces you to use such slogans related to non-Islamic festivals or to promote haram items, then it is better to avoid this job.
