Do you want to play a role in the transformation of Selling Partner Support? We are recruiting a PM to help us craft our next-generation support experiences, using improved UX and GenAI orchestrated solutions to rapidly increase the range of automated and guided solutions we offer to Selling partners needing support.

In 2024, we are busy transforming our legacy Workflows into Actions so that we have a library of capabilities that our new "Get Help" LLM-driven support experience will use to improve Selling Partner problem intent prediction, solution accuracy, and response quality. Once we complete re-implementation of our Workflows as Actions, those components will be LLM-learnable, -predictable, and -orchestratable; and we will turn our focus to automation expansion and building capabilities so that we can learn from our Associates about the improvised solutions they execute and get those codified in our model and scaled across the Associate population so that we can resolve more cases automatically and improve the Associate experience and resolution accuracy when human in the loop in required.
