　　The preferred candidate should be based in LUX (other EU locations can be considered) and have experience testing and accelerating the deployment of waste reduction initiatives related to our inventory (inventory disposition). The candidate must possess strong communication, negotiation and influencing skills to promote consensus across multiple internal and external stakeholders (frequent L8/L10 reviews), as well as a pragmatic results-oriented approach. The candidate will be comfortable with data, dive deeps and problem-solving, along with the ability to thrive in a technical environment. The candidate will be motivated, agile, and have project management skills and will have an interest in enabling us to identify and promote sustainable opportunities at Amazon. Finally, the candidate will show good judgment and continually improve their level of knowledge about Amazon’s business, its platform, and relevant technologies.
