Drive measurable growth and vendor satisfaction for strategic partnerships on Amazon's retail platform. As a Senior Customer Success Manager, you'll independently manage strategic vendor relationships, develop data-driven plans that generate ROI, and collaborate across teams to clear blockers and deliver results - even when the path forward isn't fully defined.
You'll own vendor outcomes that impact multiple team goals and may influence country- or region-level performance. This role combines independent problem-solving, cross-team collaboration, and customer advocacy. You'll navigate ambiguity, provide strategic recommendations to senior vendor contacts, and optimize processes that improve delivery for both vendors and customers. A core focus is driving vendor satisfaction - ensuring vendors feel supported, heard, and empowered to grow their business on Amazon. You'll also begin mentoring teammates and contributing to the development of others.
