This is an opportunity for you to play a vital role in shaping a key growth program for Amazon Australia, developing our portfolio of solutions alongside cross functional teams and colleagues in other countries.

The ideal candidate will be excellent at influencing external stakeholders, consulting and account management skills, possess a track record of taking initiatives and using data and tools to drive business growth, implementing process improvements and scaling up programs, and be comfortable with operating in an ambiguous environment.
