Additional Information
The Creators team's mission is to make Amazon the Earth's most desired destination for commerce creators and their content. We own the Associates and Influencer programs and brands across Amazon to ensure a cohesive experience, expand creators' opportunities to earn through innovation, and launch experiences that reinforce feelings of achievement for creators. Within Creators, our policy team works directly with executive stakeholders, tech, and business development teams to set and enforce global program rules, remove bad actors, and make it easy for creators to understand and comply with program requirements. We accomplish that mission by defining policies, aligning leadership on debates, anticipating or uncovering risk, updating global Operating Agreements, and working closely with cross-functional teams to consistently enforce rules while handling escalations and exceptions in a highly structured and organized manner.
We are seeking an organized, experienced, results-oriented leader to oversee the structure, administration, and execution of global program policy frameworks that protect program integrity while enabling creator success at scale. This is a highly visible position that requires a candidate with proven strength in "Insist on the Highest Standards," "Dive Deep," and "Are Right a Lot" leadership principles who can consider multiple perspectives before developing comprehensive policy solutions that balance risk mitigation with creator enablement. This leader will work across functional domains, geographies, business lines, and even Amazon companies to establish consistent, enforceable policies that scale globally. Successful candidates are leaders who can prioritize well, communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, and have a consistent track record of driving alignment on complex policy decisions. You should have strong customer obsession with the ability to dive deep into fraud patterns and policy violations, strong data/analytical skills to measure policy effectiveness, a self-starter spirit, and experience convincing senior leadership to invest in policy infrastructure and enforcement mechanisms. You must be a strong owner and influencer, as well as someone who can think beyond the way things have always been done.
