Job ID: 10562235 | Amazon Asia-Pacific Resources Private Limited (Singapore)

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain - and we're looking for talented people who want to help.

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

The AWS APAC Brokerage Ops Team seeks a motivated Brokerage Operations Manager to drive and optimize our customs operations across the region. In this role, you will lead process improvements, standardize operational procedures, and execute strategic initiatives while maintaining tactical excellence in day-to-day operations. You will operate autonomously in managing customs brokerage operations, developing performance metrics, and establishing best practices.

The ideal candidate will bring strong experience in logistics and transportation operations, with demonstrated ability to learn complex regulatory environments and troubleshoot operational challenges independently. Success in this role requires project management skills to lead operational initiatives, drive process automation, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders. This position offers opportunities to influence regional strategy and drive operational excellence within AWS logistics operations.

• Coordinate and standardize customs clearance processes across AWS sites/programs
• Resolve complex broker issues and implement preventive measures

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

• Analyze operational data to identify and execute process improvements
• Drive cross-functional collaboration to optimize import/export operations
• Lead automation projects and implement solutions for recurring customs clearance challenges
• Develop and track operational metrics to enhance efficiency and reduce clearance delays

A day in the life

In this role, you will manage customs brokerage operations across APAC, working with key stakeholders including Transportation teams, Finance, AWS service teams, and Trade Compliance partners. Your activities include:

• Drive operational performance through daily management of customs brokers, resolving complex clearance issues
• Monitor and analyze clearance metrics, implementing solutions to reduce delays and documentation gaps
• Partner with internal teams to optimize documentation flow and ensure broker compliance with trade requirements
• Lead broker performance reviews and develop action plans to address service gaps
• Own performance reporting and analytics for regional leadership
• Lead process automation initiatives to improve operational efficiency

AWS Cloud Logistics manages a continuously evolving portfolio of shipments and warehousing operations through a worldwide supply chain. We deliver the right product at the right time, cost, and place - ensuring our AWS supply chain is reliable, scalable, and cost-optimized. The data governance function is critical to how we operate: every planning decision, every operational escalation, and every system automation depends on accurate, timely data flowing through our ecosystem.
