    Job Description

    This role can be located in one of our approved corporate offices in Seattle, WA.

    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.

    About Company

    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.
