Job Summary

Own and scale growth for settled shippers through structured programs, loyalty benefits, scalable enablement, and data-driven retention while surfacing shipper feedback to drive product and ops improvements.

  • Drive settled-base growth and expansion opportunities at scale.
  • Build and scale loyalty, enablement, and retention programs.
  • Capture Voice of the Shipper and translate insights into cross-functional actions.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own settled-base growth -- segment the existing shipper base, identify expansion opportunity (volume, lanes, services), and build lifecycle programs that grow shipping volume per shipper at scale.
  • Build the tiered benefits program -- design and launch a non-pricing benefits program (frequent-shipper tiers) that rewards consistent shipping, with a roadmap of benefits that deepen loyalty year over year.
  • Run enablement at scale -- build the webinar, content, and best-practice engine that makes thousands of merchants successful simultaneously -- onboarding deepening, feature adoption, and shipping optimization programs.
  • Own retention -- build early-warning signals for at-risk shippers, design proactive and reactive save motions with automation/AI at a scalable ROI, and own the regretted-attrition number.
  • Own the voice of the shipper (VOS) -- run a scalable mechanism for collecting shipper feedback, walk the store to find friction in the self-service experience, and translate signals into prioritized Product, Tech, and Operations improvements.
  • Define and own growth metrics -- set program OKRs (incremental revenue from settled shippers, retention and regretted attrition, program engagement, benefit-tier progression), track rigorously, and iterate to maximize ROI.
  • Work backwards from shipper needs -- earn trust by diving deep into shipper economics, shipping patterns, and pain points to design programs merchants actually value.
  • Own your domain end-to-end -- operate as the subject matter expert for your channel, define BD strategy that complements the product strategy, and deliver results through scalable mechanisms rather than one-off effort.
  • Think big and innovate -- replace what account management does for enterprise customers with programs, benefits, and automation that scale to tens of thousands of SMBs.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree
  • 5+ years of professional or military experience
  • 5+ years of customer growth, lifecycle/retention marketing, account management at scale, or business development experience with a track record of measurable revenue outcomes
  • Experience designing and running customer programs (benefits, loyalty, enablement, or retention) with data-driven measurement
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and thrive in ambiguity

Preferred

  • Experience building loyalty/benefits or lifecycle programs that drove measurable revenue growth at scale (thousands+ customers)
  • Experience with B2B retention, churn prediction, or customer-success operations at scale
  • Experience in e-commerce platforms, logistics/shipping, or marketplace ecosystems
  • Experience building webinar/content engines or scaled enablement programs
  • Experience with SQL/analytics and cohort-based program measurement
  • Experience in a startup or early-stage business unit within a large company

Amazon

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1."​ What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.
