Job description

When you join Amazon as an Area Manager, you’ll gain experience leading a large and diverse team to make sure your area of the business keeps pace with demand. In this hands‑on role, you’ll learn about the complexity of operations at a global business and what it takes to make everything run seamlessly. While you implement your team’s approach to drive productivity, you’ll also work closely with your colleagues to address challenges, which means no two days will be the same.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Promote a culture of safety and wellbeing.
• Analyze and implement corrective actions to keep quality and productivity consistently high and business objectives met across all shifts.

You’ll also monitor and maintain process efficiency. Your days will always include prioritising routine team management and daily operational tasks, alongside other tasks like individual escalations, process improvement work and wide‑scale operational contingency planning.

Being a key part of the operations team involves working with colleagues in other teams and external partners to make sure we stay on track to meet our customer demands and targets. This will involve analysing data and performance metrics with leaders in your business area, as well as discussing the operational pros and cons of technical improvements with engineers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree, or BS degree.
• Experience in English‑language communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Experience in data analysis.
• Work flexible schedules/shifts/areas, including weekends, nights, and/or holidays.
