Description

Join us at the edge of Amazon's sustainability initiatives to work on environmental and social advancements to support Amazon's long term worldwide sustainability strategy. At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people.

They assess risk and where needed facilitate investigation into allegations to substantiate and drive remediation within established SLA frameworks, making independent decisions on case approach and remediation plans with limited supervision.

They gather and verify evidence that audit findings and escalations are resolved, conducting site visits when necessary to provide on-site guidance and assess remediation effectiveness. They apply established frameworks and guidance while adapting to unique case circumstances, balancing thoroughness with efficiency to meet SLA requirements while maintaining quality standards.

They document comprehensive case records with clear rationale for decisions, maintaining rigorous data integrity in case management systems to support due diligence and trend analysis. They contribute to process improvement initiatives by providing feedback on SOPs, guidance materials, and frameworks based on operational learnings.

They collaborate with cross-functional teams including legal, PR, HR, and sourcing to drive alignment on remediation approaches and navigate competing stakeholder priorities. They may mentor entry-level specialists and support knowledge transfer through case shadowing and informal coaching.
