Manager I, Risk, Inventory Trust - SPIV

• The Inventory Trust (SPIV) team is responsible for removing the incentive for bad actors while accurately and fairly paying millions of third-party sellers and disrupting the bad actor flywheel to change the economics of abuse within our store. The team works to ensure that bad actors cannot profit from using our services to abuse customers, selling partners, and Amazon. To accomplish this mission, we withhold funds from bad actors, deny our fulfillment network to bad actors as a means to scale their abuse, ensure that counterfeit/illegal inventory is destroyed, prevent seller credit abuse, and identify and disrupt bad actor accounts. While we obsess over customers, we specialize in obsessing over bad actors to identify their friction points and multiply them exponentially in ways that don't impact good sellers. Our vision is to ensure bad actors never receive a dollar from selling on Amazon and abusing our policies. The team performs investigation and enforcement on bad actors with the goal of preventing bad inventory from being inbounded into our Fulfillment Center (FC) network and stopping bad actor inventory from entering the FC network as effectively as possible, with an effective reinstatement and appeals process.
