Amazon, the world’s most customer‑centric company, has a massive footprint in India across e‑commerce, cloud services (AWS), digital streaming, and logistics. With millions of daily shoppers, Amazon India continuously innovates to deliver a seamless experience, while ensuring the safety and trust of its marketplace. The company’s culture of "customer obsession", "invent and simplify", and "deliver results" creates an environment where fresh talent can grow quickly, work on high‑impact problems, and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in technology and operations. The Investigation Associate role sits within the Transaction Risk Management (TRM) team in Bangalore. As a member of this fast‑paced unit, you will be the front line in protecting Amazon’s marketplace from fraudulent activities, payment anomalies, and seller misconduct. The position demands a blend of analytical rigor, strong communication, and independent decision‑making. You will interact with internal stakeholders such as risk analysts, engineers, and managers, as well as external customers via phone and email, to resolve complex transaction issues while maintaining high accuracy and productivity. Key responsibilities include: 1. Research and evaluate facts surrounding seller transactions and payment activities. 2. Take appropriate action on investigated transactions based on standard operating procedures and internal tools. 3. Document every action with detailed annotations for auditability. 4. Communicate findings and next steps to external customers through phone or email. 5. Collaborate with internal peers and managers via chat, email, and meetings to share insights. 6. Escalate ambiguous or high‑risk cases to senior owners or specialized teams. 7. Analyse performance metrics and generate reports to drive business goals. 8. Meet daily productivity targets while adhering to quality standards. 9. Continuously improve investigation processes by providing feedback on tools and SOPs. 10. Stay updated on emerging fraud patterns and industry best practices. The tech stack for this role primarily includes Amazon’s proprietary risk‑management platforms, SQL for data extraction, Excel for analysis, and basic scripting (Python) for automation. Over time, high‑performing associates can progress to Senior Investigator, Risk Analyst, or Team Lead roles, eventually moving into broader risk‑strategy or operations leadership positions. Joining Amazon offers exposure to large‑scale data, a culture that rewards ownership, and the chance to make a tangible impact on the safety of one of the world’s largest online marketplaces. The role is ideal for recent graduates who are detail‑oriented, enjoy problem‑solving, and thrive in an independent yet collaborative environment.
