Support Operations Specialist | French, Defect Prevention & Reconciliation
Job Description
This is a full-time, permanent, back-office position based in Costa Rica and does not offer relocation benefits. Job applicants must be located and legally authorized to work in Costa Rica in order to be eligible for consideration.
The Vendor Chargeback Dispute Management team (VCDM) in Costa Rica is looking for back-office, full-time, permanent Investigation Execution Specialists.
Our organization belongs to the IBSC (Inbound Supply Chain), specifically to the DP&R (Defect Prevention and Reconciliation) under NASCO (North America Supply Chain Operations). In addition, we also support programs across different regions such as Europe and MX.
Our team in Costa Rica currently supports two main programs: VCDM (Vendor Chargeback Dispute Management), which manages incoming disputes from Vendors arising from chargebacks generated from Inbound defects. And VE (Vendor Engagement) which supports the Seattle based DP&R team, by contacting Vendors with the highest defect volume related to Auto-Receive and Inventory adjustments.
The selected Investigation Execution Specialists will be responsible for a wide array of duties related to vendor chargebacks. This position requires a highly analytical, detailed and investigative contributor with assertive judgment. Our goal is to educate the vendors so that we can reduce the chargebacks flow. We also look forward not only to solve each chargeback dispute, but also ensure a balanced resolution between Amazon’s policies and the vendor’s benefit.
Within the VCDM and VE verticals, our team also provides vendor support in Portuguese, Italian, French, German and Mandarin. This is an opportunity for those who aim to work in a trilingual position in the mid-term in order to improve communication skills in a third language, once intermediate proficiency has been achieved.
