Amazon’s global Brand Protection team is looking for a Director to lead the Transparency program. Transparency is used by tens of thousands of brands, including marquee brands with a global presence as well as small to medium brands to prevent counterfeits across Amazon stores. Transparency builds on a simple yet powerful idea of deploying unique serial codes to trace units in the supply chain and eliminate defects including counterfeits. We are at the early stages of realizing the enormous potential this holds. Our vision is to create the most trusted and delightful shopping experience for customers by building the world’s best traceability service.
The Director of Transparency will bring innovative solutions to market leveraging core serialization technology, and strengthen the value proposition, whilst systematically tackling barriers to adoption. The successful candidate will be a visionary product leader that inspires the team to envision new applications, and a disciplined operator that can take bold ideas to market.
