ProServe is a new retail science consulting organization we are launching within EU Amazon Vendor Services (AVS), designed to address the most pressing and complex issues held by the senior leadership of our largest vendors and brands. We start from the customer's problem and work backwards to apply distinctive results that "only Amazon" can deliver, and develop science-driven capabilities that create differentiating insight. We serve our clients through the development of customer and retail strategies that enable their long-term growth via a combination of strategy consulting methodologies, data science, and decades of proprietary transaction data and eCommerce expertise.

As a Senior Consultant, you will work with senior leaders of our largest vendors to tackle their most critical Customer, Product, and Channel eCommerce issues. You will use your customer understanding and industry insight to plan and execute engagements that transform vendor strategy and change the trajectory of their business growth. You will also work directly with our dedicated Data Science team to prototype custom solutions with the potential to scale to hundreds of vendors, and even change the market. As a core team member you will also work with vendors, team members, and internal and external partners to influence the way we work, how we serve customers, and where we invest in future capabilities.

This is an ideal role if you are looking to leverage your client service skills while broadening your understanding of Product Management, Data Science, and other hands-on business ownership roles in the technology industry. We are open to strong-performing client service professionals with an analytical mindset and a track record of driving change, including industries and functions such as management consulting, corporate or marketing strategy and planning. The ideal candidate will have a strong combination of leadership experience and problem-solving capabilities. They will have closely worked with an executive leader in their organization and/or as a consultant to executive clients. They will be proficient in data analysis and AI. They will be curious learners looking for challenges and growth. They will serve as trusted advisors for our vendor's business executives and leaders.

Key job responsibilities

  • Delivery: Define and plan out complex integrated workstreams, delivering executive and board level briefings and materials, and taking responsibility for the engagement's success
  • Engagement: Take ownership of driving the project towards a bar-raising outcome. Be the face of the engagement team for vendors.
  • Program enhancement: Proactively share feedback and learning from engagements with Product Managers and Data Scientists to better design tools/frameworks for an enhanced vendor experience.
  • Training: Teach customers, partners, and internal teams about AVS professional services and innovation practices

This is a customer facing role with relevant business travel when needed.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

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

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
