Amazon’s Counterfeit Crimes Unit (CCU) is looking for a talented Risk Manager based in London to develop and execute Amazon’s external counterfeit enforcement efforts.
You will work with a team of attorneys, investigators, and analysts to identify counterfeiters, their networks, and other bad actors in EMEA, develop and pursue cases against them, and work with law enforcement to disrupt their activities. You will also work closely with law enforcement partners, prosecutors, brands, and regulators to take our enforcement efforts externally.
We are looking for an experienced, motivated Risk Manager with a background in IP protection, fraud, risk, or cyber investigations who also has advanced data analysis skills. Principal responsibilities will include bringing enforcement actions against counterfeiters and other bad actors; analyzing internal and external data sources to identify high-value targets; collaborating with law enforcement agencies and rights owners in support of prosecutions and disruptions of counterfeiters’ supply chains; and working cross-functionally with other internal teams to ensure close coordination in Amazon’s fight against counterfeits. Some travel will be required.
Amazon is constantly innovating and working with rights owners and law enforcement to ensure a trusted customer experience in our stores. We are looking for someone with strong judgment who can think big about these efforts while delivering results to deter and prevent bad actors from attempting to sell inauthentic goods. The candidate must move fast and be willing to take smart risks, have an entrepreneurial spirit to create new solutions, have a tenacity to get things done, thrive in an environment of ambiguity and change, and be able to break down and solve complex problems.
