Note : For more details on rekindle program, pls visit - https://www.amazon.jobs/en/landing_pages/rekindleWe are the cash people!Cash / Pay on delivery is the largest instrument of choice by customers on Amazon.in (and in other similar emerging markets where we are expanding) - this despite the rapid advances in digital payments technology space. Customers continue to prefer Pay on Delivery (POD), not only because they want to pay by cash (indeed half of our COD customers pay digitally at doorstep!) - but because it solves many other needs for them - Building trust in the Amazon marketplace, peace of mind to only pay when the item is delivered, and not block money until then, ordering for friends and family who are not digitally savvy etc.On the other hand, POD also has its down-sides: it leads to low-intent purchases, casual rejects and abuse from some customers, which impacts the sustainability of the instrument. Hence there is a need to continuously shape the POD offering, to make it available for the good customers, while reducing its access to the not-so-good customers, and make it an overall more sustainable business lever for Amazon. We work on improving Customer experience and sustainability for POD - across onsite availability and experience, post-order payment experience, doorstep experience, refund experience and managing overall instrument P&L.
This person taking up this role will own the complete Post-order experience for Pay on Delivery - product, program, go-to-market, financials, customer escalations and compliance. Post order experience includes how customers can pay for the order while the item is in transit and at doorstep (cash/ digital options, pay-in-transit), delivery associate experience (reducing cash collection through improving digital payment adoption), working with Last Mile Operations teams to drive adoption, working with Finance team to track and optimize the costs of money collection. The role will be also be the primary interface for both global and cross-functional, cross-departmental teams in the area of Post-order experience, and work closely on industry-first, industry defining initiatives to identify to make Pay on Delivery the most preferred instrument for both existing and new to Amazon customers.Key job responsibilities

About the team
We will be honest - POD is a challenging area to work on. It has high level of ambiguity, the problem and solution space are both complex, and require patience, resilience and innovative ideas to iterate and figure out what works. It is like choosing to live in the mountains. To meditate. Or run a marathon. Tough, yet rewarding. And something that you need to choose as your \xe2\x80\x9chard\xe2\x80\x9d, willingly, and play the long game.
You will be joining a team of such passionate believers - who have chosen to work in this area with a mission to improve the experience for the India that wants to shop on e-commerce using cash, and for those who are yet to trust us to move to a prepaid mode of payment.
