At Amazon, we pioneer.
We also treat every day just like it’s day one. And we never sit still while we do it.
Are you up for creating solutions and solving tomorrow’s problems today?
Then we have the opportunity for you!
We’re
seeking an experienced, Operations Manager to join our Customer
Fulfillment team. You’ll operate out of one of our dynamic Fulfillment
Centers: these sit at the heart of Amazon’s world-class, rapidly growing
business. They’re where we manage our fast-moving inventory; they’re
also where we developed our smart, industry-leading workflows.
As an
Operations Manager, you’ll deliver inspiring, supportive leadership for
the teams you manage. But at the same time, you don’t shy away from
rolling up your sleeves and getting involved whenever necessary.

direct reports: meanwhile, you will report to the Senior Operations
Manager of your Fulfillment Center. The quality of your leadership is
key to success in this role: you’ll motivate and inspire your teams to
do their best work, while planning schedules and activities that balance
their needs with that of the business.
Another key aspect of your
role will be to lead on numerous process improvement projects, with the
aim of streamlining all activities, both for yourself and the team
members you manage. The ideas, innovation and leaps out of the status
quo that you come up with could very well be rolled out across the
Amazon network: this immense opportunity is yours for the taking.
