We are part of the Worldwide Customer Service Capacity Planning (WWCP) organization that enables end-to-end customer service workforce planning across Amazon. WWCP’s North Star vision is to define and deliver timely human-assisted support to Amazon customers under contact demand and labor supply volatility and optimizing the Customer Service (CS) network for customer experience, associate experience, and cost.

It will adapt seamlessly to fluctuations in supply and demand while maintaining our service-level (SL) goals. In addition to planning, this product will continuously monitor and manage real-time network performance, swiftly identifying emerging supply-demand gaps and ensuring the efficient utilization of flexible capacity through real-time network rebalancing.

We solve problems on par with leading academic research for the benefit of customers who celebrate our feature launches on social media, constantly demand new features, and through adoption, force us to invent new ways to scale our systems.
