Description

The Selling Partner Support (SP-Support) organization’s goal is to enable 3P Selling Partners and Vendors of any size by helping them build the business they want. SP-Support strives to predict our Seller's needs before they recognize they may have a problem, create innovative self-help tools, and provide solutions to help our partners better serve their customers. The SP-Support Operations team acts as the primary interface between Amazon and our 3rd Party business partners. The Executive Selling Partner Relations team is a role model for the SP-Support organization.

The Executive Selling Partner Relations team is looking for an Executive Inquiries Leader to join our team who are Selling Partner Obsessed and passionate about improving the Selling Partner experience. This person will be responsible for responding to 3P Selling Partner escalations directed to senior executives (L8+), or through highly escalated SP-Support contacts. The Executive Inquiries Leader will be responsible for assisting with the resolution of executive write-ups and summaries, and resolving 3P Selling Partner issues.

Executive Inquiries Leaders work at an autonomous level with little to no supervision. They manage multiple Root Cause Analysis (RCA) projects simultaneously, and starting at the director level keep other teams and stakeholders accountable to ensure that RCAs are driven to completion by aggressive deadlines.
