The DSP Performance Operations team is seeking an experienced and strategic Manager III, Operations Quality & Training to lead critical quality assurance and information-scaling functions. This is a people manager role responsible for building, developing, and leading a high-performing team. The role owns two key pillars: (1) the quality of Specialist event and case work, (2) closed-loop reduction of escalations and rejected dispute approvals and (2) ensuring Scorecard changes and improvements are effectively scaled and communicated across the DSP Organization, Business Coach (BC), Ops Partners, and DSP/DA Training teams.

As the Performance Operations organization prepares to launch and roll out its Global Scorecard Product, this role will be instrumental in scaling the Perf Ops Quality Program and Training Materials globally. The successful candidate will help define and operationalize quality standards that translate across geographies, ensuring consistency and excellence as the product expands into new markets.

This leader will serve as the central point of coordination between the Scorecard team, Operations Specialist and downstream partners, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and timely dissemination of updates to external-facing resources such as Metric Guides and Companion tools to limit metric confusion and enable self-service learning and coaching tools.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
