Marketplace Seller Vetting Analyst

The Marketplace Seller Vetting Analyst plays a critical role in protecting and growing Best Buy's Marketplace by evaluating potential seller risk and supporting the integrity of the Marketplace ecosystem. This role combines investigative research, data analysis, and risk assessment to make informed decisions about prospective sellers and identify emerging risks.
