Do you thrive on performing in a fast paced environment where your actions will directly impact revenue growth and improve overall customer experience? Are you excited to be part of a billion dollar business with global reach? The Amazon Currency Converter (ACC) operations team is looking for an experienced Program Manager with international/cross-border technology experience to manage the operational relationships with our internal and external payment partners, optimize business processes to support continued revenue growth, and become the “go to” team member for resolving business escalations.

The overall ACC business provides a better payment experience for cross-border Buyers and Sellers worldwide and extends Amazon’s reach beyond the borders of our existing marketplaces. ACC owns two services: Amazon Currency Converter for Sellers (ACCS) and Amazon Currency Converter for Buyers (ACCB). ACCS enables Sellers to sell in more marketplaces by making it easier to get paid in their local currency to their home bank account, thus increasing the number of Sellers and product selection on Amazon marketplaces.

ACC generates free cash flow and directly impacts the Amazon Flywheel.

The Business Operations Program Manager is responsible for helping drive operational excellence within payments. This role will support global external payment partners to push excellence and a world class customer experience. This role will also partner with internal stakeholders to identify points of friction, propose requirements for business expansion, drive internal programs that will help the business scale, and advocate for the customer experience. This role is required to serve as a hands-on analyst and partner manager - resolving escalations, using data to identify areas of improvement, and supporting projects.
