Data Analyst, Returns SX

In the Worldwide Returns & ReCommerce (WWRR) group at Amazon, we are dedicated to ‘making zero happen’ – zero cost of returns, zero waste, and zero defects – to benefit our customers, company, and environment. We are an agile and inclusive organization that constantly innovates to create long-term value by investing in our people and our planet, not simply focusing on the bottom line.

WWRR includes business, product, operations, data, and software engineering teams, who together manage the lifecycle of returned and damaged products. In WWRR, you will partner across these teams to help customers discover great deals on quality used, rentals, and open box items; get the most value out of Amazon’s products; improve the customer returns experience; and reduce defects, waste, and cost in reverse logistics processes. You will be a leader, a builder, and an owner, collaborating cross-functionally with technical, operations, and business teams to design scalable and automated solutions to customer problems.

Amazon is Earth’s most customer-centric company and in WWRR, the Earth is our customer too. Come join us and innovate with the Amazon Worldwide Returns & ReCommerce team!
