Manager Amazon Business Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Opportunity: We're looking for a Sr. Risk Manager who'll own the end to end credit strategy for new marketplace launches in the WW Pay-by-Invoice lending portfolio - a high impact role where you'll be a thought leader who builds and scales a best-in-class credit program from the ground up. You'll work backwards from customer needs while balancing business objectives, defining product features and operational processes that scale, and using metrics to continuously improve portfolio performance through economic cycles.

What Makes This Role Different: This isn't traditional risk management - it's strategic growth leadership. You'll:
- Drive Growth: Own credit strategy for new international marketplaces across the entire customer lifecycle, directly impacting how fast we can scale our lending business
- Innovate with AI/ML: Partner with Science teams to design new product features, define model rule sets, and build next-generation automated credit decisioning
- Lead Through Influence: Build relationships with senior stakeholders across Product, Tech, Science, and Business teams to drive transformational change
- Think Big: Identify innovation opportunities, design experiments, and deliver payment experiences that delight customers
- Own the Metrics: Define, monitor, and communicate performance to senior leadership while owning business goals and outcomes
