AI in this role
Lead FBA support operations and drive continuous improvement across people, processes, and technology.
We are looking for a results-oriented, customer-obsessed, data-driven leader who is passionate about innovating and optimizing across people, processes and technology to be a world-class support organization. The ideal candidate is an influential leader with a proven track record inspiring their team to deliver big results. They are able to continuously improve the operational efficiency of their team through good prioritization, and communication skills, as well as the ability to navigate ambiguity. They have the capability and passion to foster a culture of innovation, inspiring their team to identify process and technology improvements that complement operational excellence to deliver increasingly better outcomes. They will index high on people development, and they believe at their core that leaders operate at all levels of an organization. The ideal candidate also demonstrates strong seller-facing communication leadership — they understand how to build trust-based advisory relationships with selling partners, coach their team to move beyond transactional interactions, and drive meaningful seller engagement that results in sustained behavioral change and defect elimination.
Operations: The candidate needs to be able to drive results in a production environment. Must lead their team and stakeholders towards meeting operational metrics of quality, productivity, and service levels. Will be responsible for setting the goals and vision for the function(s) operating under the candidate. This includes owning the end-to-end seller coaching lifecycle, ensuring the team delivers measurable account-level impact rather than transactional case resolution.
Stakeholder Management and Communication: The candidate would need to interact with multiple stakeholders within India and globally and at times, would be required to influence and drive consensus between teams. The candidate would also be required to write high impact, clear and concise documents (Support Strategies, Business review documents, etc.). Additionally, the candidate must be able to represent the seller coaching program's impact and insights to senior leadership, translating frontline seller engagement data into strategic narratives that inform program direction and investment decisions.
People Leadership: The candidate would be responsible for creating mechanisms for employee growth and development. This would mean enabling People Managers and creating succession plans. Will strike the right balance between effective delegation while maintain a connect with the team through different communication channels (1:1 connects, Huddles, Open office hours etc.). The candidate must develop their team's consultative communication skills — coaching specialists to adaptive insight-driven seller advisory dialogues that uncover root causes and build long-term seller trust.
Process Improvements, Automation, and Innovation: The candidate would need to drive innovation within the team, such that operational inefficiencies can be removed and existing procedures/SOPs be enhanced. Should be able to identify and lead projects across various teams, develop new metrics and drive creation of new tools for the same. The candidate should leverage seller engagement insights and frontline feedback to identify systemic defect patterns, propose scalable coaching interventions, and partner with DP&R and product teams to translate seller-facing observations into program-level improvements.
We value individual expression, respect different opinions, and work together to create a culture where each of us is able to contribute fully. Our unique backgrounds and perspectives strengthen our ability to achieve Amazon’s mission of being Earth’s most customer-centric company.
