We are seeking a high-judgement program manager to setup a gating governance program with scope across all SPS (& non-SPS) teams that take Gating actions on ASIN/Offers for Seller/Brand/Vendors.

This role will own resolving roadblocks for the team, provide escalation management, own regular communication with leadership (including program updates), make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs within constraints.
The ideal candidate is able to influence and gain buy-in from tech, and policy stakeholders, and seamlessly deliver in an ambiguous environment. Problem-solving, cross-team coordination, program management, executive communication, and organizational skills are essential to be successful in this role.
This position combines global strategic thinking with hands-on planning and oversight, and is a great opportunity for candidates who are looking to gain product experience, while leveraging their program management skills. This candidate will be part of a fast pacing and entrepreneurial team, and be tasked with building trust over time by launching new processes and developing novel means to measure progress.
