- Design, optimize, and operationalize category-specific after-sales policies covering dispute resolution, liability adjudication, buyer/seller protections, refunds, exchanges, and related workflows.

- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Customer Service, Risk, Legal, Governance, and Business Operations teams to drive policy alignment, implementation, and enforcement.

- Analyze dispute trends, merchant feedback, and operational data to identify systemic gaps and develop scalable policy and process improvements.

- Represent the after-sales operations team in business reviews, merchant research initiatives, and cross-market operational discussions.

- Act as a key liaison between US and global teams to facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing, and operational alignment.

- Support merchant and seller education efforts related to after-sales policies, particularly for complex, high-risk, or high-value categories.
