About The Position

The Inventory Trust team at Amazon is responsible for protecting customers, brands, and Amazon's reputation by identifying and removing fraudulent, counterfeit, and non-compliant inventory from the fulfillment network before it reaches customers. This role is for a Senior Risk Manager who will lead the programmatic clearance of worldwide bad actor and bad inventory at scale. The individual will build and scale mechanisms to detect, evaluate, and remove millions of risky units across global marketplaces, directly impacting the trustworthiness of Amazon's supply chain. The role involves driving disposition decisions on millions of units, managing escalation pathways involving legal holds and regulatory compliance, and setting thresholds for neutralizing the impact of bad actors. It requires designing new processes, defining clearance strategies, and building cross-functional mechanisms in a fast-paced, high-ambiguity environment. The focus is on programmatic and operational execution, identifying bad actors, driving inventory through evaluation and disposition workflows, and scaling mechanisms to combat evolving threats.
