Sr. De-Risking Manager, Sustainability Compliance

Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company where people can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. Selling Partners (SPs) are a critical part of Amazon’s ecosystem to deliver on our vision of offering the Earth’s largest selection and lowest prices. Over 2 million Sellers sell on Amazon and we obsess over providing world-class support to them. In the EU, we continue to observe an unprecedented wave of legislation that impacts SP experience (for sellers and vendors), constrains selection, and jeopardizes growth. This increases the complexity and cost of selling in the EU and makes compliance the primary barrier to SP launches in the region.
