In-Store Experience Partner Coach

Sells products online and rents cloud computing
Reverse Logistics Services (RLS) exists to make returns effortless and reliable for every Amazon customer — no matter which store or partner they walk into. In Germany, we deliver that experience across a large network of partner and carrier locations, through convenience-led options such as Label-Free, Box-Free (LFBF) drop-off and every other way a customer can return an item in-store.
The ISX Partner Coach, Germany owns the quality and consistency of that experience across the territory of the German network. Because returns run through thousands of independent partner sites, the experience can vary widely from one location to the next — and the core of this role is closing that gap. You will get into the field, see how returns actually happen at partner locations, coach partners and their teams to the standard customers expect, and use data to focus your time on the sites that need help most. Your mission is holistic: improving in-store returns execution across all return types, so a customer's experience is just as good at the busiest location as it is at the smallest.
This role is grounded in field execution. Alongside coaching individual sites, you will help deploy the network-wide improvements that lift the German network as a whole: in-store signage and wayfinding, store supplies and replenishment, associate support and training, and the tools partners rely on to process returns. You will feed what you learn in the field back into these programs, work with internal teams to roll them out in Germany, and surface local insight that helps improve the broader EU standards — turning on-the-ground observation into lasting improvement.
This is also a founding, build-from-scratch role. You'll be one of the first ISX Partner Coaches in Germany and one of the earliest members of the EU field team, reporting to the EU ISX Senior Manager. There's no established playbook yet — you'll help create it. We're looking for someone with drive, comfort with ambiguity, and the judgment to focus on the work that matters most while the team, tools, and standards are still taking shape.
Key job responsibilities
Deliver the in-store returns experience across your assigned German territory, ensuring returns are fast, easy, and reliable across all return types.
Get into the field and coach. Visit partner locations, observe how returns are handled, and coach partner teams to Amazon's standards for speed, accuracy, and customer experience.
Use data to prioritize. You can't be everywhere — use performance data to find the locations and partners falling furthest behind and focus where you improve the customer experience most.
Drive measurable improvement on the metrics that define a great returns experience: speed of service, processing reliability, customer satisfaction, and site readiness.
Deploy network-wide improvements. Support the rollout of scalable programs — in-store signage and wayfinding, supplies and replenishment, associate support and training, and returns-processing tools — adapting them for local sites.
Manage performance to resolution. Follow a structured coaching and follow-up cycle for underperforming sites, and partner with the right internal teams (Business Partnerships for retail, Transportation for carriers) when issues need escalation.
Help build the foundation. As a founding team member, contribute to how the EU field team audits, coaches, and reports, and feed your field insights into monthly ISX reporting.

Amazon runs the largest online store in the United States and rents cloud computing to businesses and governments through Amazon Web Services. AWS pioneered renting computing power over the internet, and Amazon built its own delivery network to get orders to customers quickly. Shoppers buy from Amazon and from independent sellers on its store, and Prime members pay a subscription for fast free shipping, streaming video and music, and other perks. AWS rents out computing power, storage, databases, and AI tools so companies can run software without owning servers, and Amazon also makes Kindle e-readers and Echo speakers with the Alexa assistant. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, and it is based in Seattle, Washington.
