The Program Manager will be specifically responsible for supporting compliance programs for selling partners in EU. They will help to develop the team strategy and mechanisms to support regulatory compliance, and provide guidance for business teams and selling partners. The individual will analyze regulations, establish and monitor metrics, and guide business teams in implementation of Amazon's recycling programs. They will work with internal and external partners that include government entities, consultants, recycling companies, business leaders and other key stakeholders.
