Flexible Role in Tampa: Returns Processing Associate Employer: Amazon (Hiring in Tampa) Based in: Tampa, FL (our growing Tampa office)

Compensation: $19-$22/Hour (approx. $42.6k/Year) Benefits: A competitive compensation package is offered. Project-based work with clear objectives.

What You'll Do

Apply your your professional skills skills at our Tampa location.

  • This Tampa-based role is an excellent opportunity for professionals skilled in relevant skills.
  • Our Amazon team in Tampa, FL is growing.
  • Benefit from working in Tampa, a key hub for the Reverse Logistics industry.


Master the Reverse Supply Chain

Not every journey ends at the customer's doorstep. When items are sent back, they enter the complex and highly analytical world of reverse logistics. As a Returns Processing Associate, you are the detective of the warehouse. If you possess a meticulous eye for detail, strong computer skills, and prefer a stationary, analytical environment over the heavy physical lifting of traditional warehouse jobs, this is an exceptional opportunity to build a long-term Amazon career.

The Science of Returns

Working in a specialized Returns Node (C-Returns) is fundamentally different from a fulfillment center. The environment is quieter, fully climate-controlled, and highly individualized. You will be stationed at a dual-monitor computer terminal, working methodically to inspect, grade, and route returned merchandise. Your decisions directly impact Amazon's financial recovery and sustainability efforts by keeping perfectly good items out of landfills.

  • Condition Grading & Fraud Detection: You will carefully open returned packages and inspect the items against strict digital guidelines. You must determine if an item is unopened, gently used, missing critical parts, or damaged. You will also be trained to identify return fraud (e.g., a customer returning a counterfeit item in an authentic box).
  • Data Entry & Customer Resolution: Based on your physical inspection, you will input specific condition codes into the warehouse management software. Your accurate data entry triggers the automated system to issue the correct financial refund to the customer's account.
  • Repackaging & Routing: Items deemed "Sellable" will be meticulously cleaned, re-bagged, and given a new barcode (LPN) so they can be routed back to a fulfillment center. Items that are damaged are digitally routed for liquidation or safe recycling.

A Sustainable Career Path

This role offers a fantastic gateway into Amazon's quality assurance, loss prevention, and data analysis departments. We support your career growth with our famous Day 1 benefits, which include comprehensive health insurance without waiting periods, a 401(k) with company match, generous paid time off, and access to the Career Choice tuition reimbursement program. Candidates must be 18+ and possess excellent reading comprehension and basic computer literacy.
