Job description

Sr. Program Manager, Quick Commerce Expansion Planning

Job ID: 10522848 | Amazon.com Services LLC

In this role, you will own the upstream funnel for Quick Commerce (QC) new launch sites - the strategic and tactical work that moves a site from initial identification through site selection and handoff to downstream delivery teams. The Sr. Program Manager will own a regional pipeline of prospective sites and drive comprehensive reporting on expansion initiatives, partnering with cross-functional stakeholders to source, evaluate, qualify, and advance sites through the selection funnel. You'll manage critical early-stage milestones, assess and mitigate risks before they reach execution, and standardize the documentation and decision processes that govern how sites enter and move through the pipeline - all while managing high-impact special projects, from operational deep-dives to executive-level analytics. Your influence will extend across our entire quick commerce ecosystem, shaping how we identify, prioritize, and select the sites that scale and optimize our operations.

The successful candidate will combine strong analytical capabilities with quick commerce operational knowledge, demonstrating experience in fast-paced project environments and a track record of leveraging data to drive site selection and pipeline decisions. Building durable relationships across partner teams and proactively managing risk are just as critical as the analytical work - superior communication skills and the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders are crucial for success in this role.

Join our team and help revolutionize the quick commerce industry through data-driven decision making and strategic operational excellence.

A day in the life As a QC Expansions Program Manager, your day revolves around orchestrating a pipeline of prospective sites from identification through selection and handoff. You begin by reviewing pipeline dashboards and addressing any critical issues. Throughout the day, you'll lead virtual meetings with various stakeholders, including Real Estate for site sourcing and selection updates, Design Engineering for early feasibility on layouts, and internal partners on selection criteria and handoff readiness. You'll analyze site data to identify potential risks early, make key decisions to unblock the funnel, and drive resolution of selection risks before they reach execution. Time is spent preparing executive summaries, ensuring pipeline documentation is current, and developing standardized processes to improve future site selection. Your role is to keep all moving parts aligned and the funnel flowing efficiently - building the relationships and managing the risks that make clean handoffs possible.
