About the Team:
E-commerce's Governance and Experience is a global team responsible for ensuring our marketplace is safe and trustworthy for not only our users, but also sellers and creators.

- Trend Reporting: Draft recurring insights reports to connect raw data to business priorities, providing actionable summaries for the Strategic Program Managers.
- Root-Cause Investigation: Conduct forensic-level analysis on sensitive escalations and customer complaints to identify the underlying policy gaps or operational friction points.
- Process Feedback & SOP Iteration: Continuously refine audit methodologies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), ensuring our review tools stay ahead of evolving bad-actor behaviors.
- Cross-Functional Signaling: Proactively flag emerging risks and violative trends to the Strategic Program Managers, providing evidence to inform process improvements.
- Domain Support & Special Projects: Execute deep-dive metric investigations to identify the drivers behind fluctuations in key performance indicators (KPIs)
Qualifications

- 1 years of experience in E-commerce investigations, Trust & Safety, Risk Management, or specialized Data Analysis.
