Description
The Order Performance team helps maintain a consistent buyer experience across all Amazon stores, regardless of seller or fulfillment channel. We do this by setting performance standards for fulfillment quality and customer service quality. We are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to improve the buying experience by maintaining a trustworthy shopping experience for all of our customers.
We own an enforcement program to ensure we filter out the "worst of the worst" performing sellers and offers in order to protect the CX from risky sellers and offers. This role is a new role within our CX vertical that will be responsible for defining what bar-raising customer service looks like, developing a set of signals, and working with the product and policy teams to ensure that we educate and publish these metrics for sellers - in other words, rather than be satisfied with enforcing sellers for poor performance, we will invest in developing a set of proactive metrics that sellers can work toward in order to improve their performance well beyond the minimum standard for avoiding enforcement. We will integrate those signals into Amazon's shopping algorithms and improve buyer experiences, in so doing we will close the trust gap between AFN and MFN, and improve seller trust in Amazon.
That means working hand in hand with our customer experience product managers to ensure that the products we build will increase the likelihood that every customer has a perfect order experience on every order, every time they buy from Amazon. We are constantly innovating on behalf of our customers, and this role will directly impact their experience by influencing policy, product, and the Amazon shopping journey for customers. You will also work to implement solutions to our compliance obligations in certain of our international stores, while also ensuring our solutions do not impact the trustworthiness of our stores. In addition to compliance, you will help stand up new customer experience programs within our team, improve how we measure success by developing key performance indicators, and work with our business analysts to forecast and measure impact. You will own highly visible goals and initiatives to deliver them.
This is a global role that works on some of the most impactful and highly visible work we are doing to improve seller performance and reduce order defects. You will have the opportunity to innovate and think big on behalf of millions of buyers and sellers on a global scale. The successful candidate will have a track record working across multiple partner and stakeholder teams to prioritize, manage expectations, and drive improvements in a timely and efficient manner.
