A day in the life
Our team's focus is supporting customers who are impacted by broken experiences when something on a 1st party products and services of Amazon goes wrong (Kindle, Echo, Appstore, Prime Video etc). We do this by providing critical communication and actions to these customers. By supporting these customers, we reduce the need for them to contact customer service. The MARS Program Specialists' daily work focuses on handling the requests we receive from all over the D2AS global organisation which report these experiences.

Each team member works 1-to-1 with their individual requesters/the requesting teams to drive conversation on the best path forward for both the requesting business POCs and the customers impacted by the reported experience. There are various flavours of work for MARS Program Specialists every day, ranging from honing stakeholder management skills and managing upwards, content management, data handling and programmatic work. When the team's requirements for the defined path forward are met, MARS Program Specialists utilized various tools to carry out large actions such as mass mail communications, push notifications, large scale refunds and physical order cancellations.

As specialists become comfortable in their research skills and judgements from exposure to these daily requests, they will become involved in programmatic related work. Here is where they learn to hone their stakeholder management and process improvement skills.
