You will partner with Product Managers, Policy SMEs, Science, ML engineers, automation teams, and Ops workflow leads to translate technical and policy requirements into clear, operational guidance.

A day in the life
Your day might start with a review of a launch readiness checklist for an upcoming LLM policy update, followed by a cross-functional sync with Product Managers, ML engineers and ops leads to align on rollout timelines. In the afternoon, you might draft or refine an SOP for a new enforcement process using AI tools to accelerate documentation, then close out by pulling metrics to assess the impact of a recently launched program. No two days look exactly the same, but every day, you will see the direct connection between your work and the integrity of the Amazon Books store.
