The Role

Are you keen to join a team where you will manage the expansion, fit‑out, and launch of operations for state‑of‑the‑art Fulfillment Centers (FCs) that support Amazon’s growth and customer needs? The role involves travel and work in multiple countries and cultures. The position is based in France with 50% of the time traveling domestically or to other EU countries.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end delivery of warehouse project milestones.
• Integrate project scheduling, resource planning, critical‑path analysis, and schedule optimization across multiple business, technical, fiscal, and program activities.
• Communicate effectively with subject‑matter experts in Construction, Engineering, Operations, Finance, Procurement, Transportation, or Contract law.

You will plan and execute the business case that delivers operational fulfillment centers. Your day may include engaging with all levels of the organization to agree on strategy, attending the site, owning its development from a greenfield to a fully functioning FC, and managing resources to execute activities according to an end‑to‑end schedule. You will make decisions on behalf of the business and see the outcome of these decisions through coordination of stakeholders, both internal and third‑party, culminating in the successful launch of the facility on Day One.
