The Global Product Verification (GPV) team supports the Perfect Order Experience (POE) organization's goal to ensure a great ordering experience by acting as a reliable product authentication and verification service for products sold by our selling partners. As a GPV Manager II, Risk, you will lead and develop a team of Investigation and Risk Specialists while owning and managing risk program(s) and/or risk projects within GPV. You will build a high-performing team by setting clear expectations, coaching for growth, and creating an environment where team members deliver their best work.

You will drive process improvement and risk-mitigation methodologies (e.g., risk assessments, Lean) through your team to achieve operational excellence across GPV's product authentication and verification operations. You will oversee the rollout of controls or audits, including testing and measuring their effectiveness, and ensure your team accurately and consistently meets both qualitative and quantitative metrics. You will work closely with regional program stakeholders and internal partner teams (e.g., engineering, Legal) to identify trends and learnings that inform defect reduction initiatives and strategies. You will identify and drive efforts to reduce inefficiencies and costs in operations while scaling team capabilities to support operational excellence.
