Job description

*This role can be based in Luxembourg, London, Munich, Berlin, and Gdansk.

Amazon is looking for a Program Manager to launch Extended Producer Responsibility compliance requirements for our selling partners. Extended Producer Responsibility is an environmental protection policy under which manufacturers, producers, and distributors take responsibility for their products and packaging at their end of life, by establishing systems to collect and recycle post-consumer waste.

This role requires coordination and direct efforts across multiple business teams to enable environmental compliance processes. The Program Manager will be specifically responsible for supporting compliance programs for selling partners in the EU. They will help to develop the team strategy and mechanisms to support regulatory compliance and provide guidance for business teams and selling partners. The individual will analyze regulations, establish and monitor metrics, and guide business teams in the implementation of Amazon's recycling programs. They will work with internal and external partners that include government entities, consultants, recycling companies, business leaders, and other key stakeholders.

Key job responsibilities

1. Design, coordinate and launch new EPR programs to respond to legal requirements in the EU, using hard data and evidence to drive decision-making.
2. Interact with multiple stakeholders including government agencies, recyclers, and consultants to communicate on operations and evaluate risks.
3. Identify and prioritize regulatory requirements, define business requirements, and develop SOPs.
4. Coordinate with technical and operational teams across time zones to develop new mechanisms that enable the program team to move faster and more effectively.

A day in the life
