We 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

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 on night shift: 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.
