The Selling Partner Trust and Store Integrity (TSI) team is tasked with identifying and preventing abuse for our customers and brand owners worldwide. Our growth requires leaders who move fast, have an entrepreneurial spirit to create new solutions, a tenacity to get things done, and are capable of breaking down and solving complex problems. The Sales Abuse Prevention team, within TSI, designs and implements policies, tools and technology innovations to protect customers from attempts to boost sales through unfair and illegitimate business practices.
We are looking for a experienced product leader to manage critical and high impact projects. The ideal candidate should be passionate about helping us ensure that customers have a trustworthy buying experience and that brand owners and selling partners using Amazon are successful listing and selling their products. Your decisions are not only fundamental to helping protect customers and selling partners but will help maintain the health of Amazon’s catalog and product listings ecosystem.
The product leader in this role will lead strategy and execution spanning multiple verticals and abuse vectors within the sales abuse prevention team while focusing on preventing abuse, measuring abuse, detecting and investigating abuse, and finally, streamlining the enforcement and appeals mechanisms. The team’s mission is to protect and preserve the integrity of Amazon's stores by ensuring a level playing field for all selling partners. We do so by eliminating fraudulent and deceptive practices that undermine the trust and confidence of customers and selling partners. We aim to detect and deter bad actors who seek to manipulate Amazon’s community content, e.g. reviews, feedback, Q&A, etc. and product placement, e.g. Search, P13N, Ads, etc. to gain an unfair competitive advantage. We detect instances of fraud and abuse across Amazon’s online WW stores by building new machine learning models and scalable services. We also empower other Amazon teams that similar needs to benefit from our expertise and services.
Key job responsibilities
Some of the initiatives this leader will work on include streamlining enforcements (including appeals), designing new frameworks that allow Amazon remove the reliance on human decisioning in favor of machine learning, building new software architectures that allow us to quickly react to changes in fraud and abuse trends, and launching new services to prevent abusive or fraudulent behavior before it reaches Amazon’s customers. Additionally, the role will be responsible for different aspects of the following:
- Define the multi-year vision for the space
- Build and manage high quality product roadmaps based on your vision and strategy
- Work backwards to determine what the initial building blocks to achieve that vision will be
- Work with key business stakeholders, engineering partner teams across Reviews, Rank, Search, Pricing, Promotions, Fraud and Abuse Prevention to build out requirements for the different phases
- Work with our in-house engineering team to build and innovate in the space
- Manage prioritization and trade-offs for speed to launch, performance, and features
- Gain support for your strategy and roadmap from stakeholders by writing narratives and influencing peers and senior leadership
- Creating program metrics, track progress and manage through obstacles to achieve your objectives.
