Job description

Overview

Nearly three decades ago, Amazon set out to be Earth's most customer-centric company, where people can discover and purchase the widest possible selection of safe and authentic goods. As part of that mission, we obsess over earning and maintaining trust by ensuring that we provide a trustworthy shopping experience. We invest heavily in people and technology to protect customers, selling partners, brands, and advertisers from any form of fraud or abuse. When we identify and remove a non-compliant or unsafe product offer or suspend a seller, advertiser, or rights owner due to a policy violation, we provide clear and actionable communications. We have a process to remediate policy violations, appeal enforcements, or dispute enforcements. If sellers remain dissatisfied with a decision Amazon took after reaching out to our support teams, they can seek resolution for most disputes through an independent mediation process, facilitated by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution. This redress mechanism enhances Amazon's ability to appropriately protect sellers' interests and expression. Our dedicated EU Mediation team ensures that we hear and address selling partner pain points. The EU Mediation team is looking for a Risk Manager to manage critical and high impact disputes.

The ideal candidate should be passionate about helping us ensure that customers may make great purchase decisions and that brand owners and sellers using Amazon are successfully listing and selling their products.
