This will involve building and scaling new initiatives, as well as optimizing and enhancing existing Amazon workstreams. The Senior Product Manager will work closely with cross-functional stakeholders across Retail Business, Operations, and Supply Chain Technology.

About the team
The Inventory Defects Team drives out costly inventory defects in our supply chain from the moment we cut a purchase order, to our receipt and management of products we receive, through final disposition of inventory. We use the Retail P&L to highlight areas where we are not realizing the full benefit of our inventory investments, and identify opportunities to reduce cost or eliminate waste in our process. We are committed to being the critical connector for defect identification, reduction, and elimination across NA Stores and Central Technology & Operations Teams. We strive to eliminate defects fully where possible, and where full elimination is not possible, we strive to achieve “best in class”.
