The Order Performance, Trust, Analytics & Experiences (OPTANE) team manages the performance of our 2.3 million sellers and their billions of product offering with respect to the quality of fulfillment and customer service. This means setting and enforcing minimum performance standards, and ensuring all sellers have the education, coaching, and tools to succeed when selling in our stores. Our goal is to ensure that customers can shop with confidence across our entire catalog, knowing that regardless of the seller or fulfillment channel their order will be delivered in the condition expected, on-time, and in the rare instance where something goes wrong, it will be simple to get a return or exchange. We do this by developing signals that allow us to understand the holistic performance and risk associated with every seller and every item offered for sale in Amazon's stores. We leverage those signals to make performance management decisions, boosting the discoverability of high-performing offers and filtering out the "worst of the worst" in order to protect the customer experience, while providing targeted insights and coaching to sellers so that they have the necessary information to improve performance, win sales, and scale their businesses. This is a business analyst role supporting the development of new tools to evaluate and take action on what we know about seller performance. This role will work most closely with the program manager who owns our seller performance program. In addition, you will interface regularly with country leadership and stakeholders from Amazon stores around the world, and you will work with our performance team to help identify new signals that will help us make holistic performance evaluations internally and deliver performance insights externally to buyers and sellers. This is a global role that will drive critical buyer- and seller-facing work, with high visibility to senior leadership. You will have the opportunity to innovate and think big on behalf of millions of buyers and sellers on a global scale.
