Amazon"s Worldwide Grocery Stores, Growth & Development team is searching for an Asset Program Manager.

If you"re a builder who thrives at the intersection of technology, operations, and financial strategy, and you want your work to have direct, measurable impact at scale, this role was designed for you. This is a rare opportunity to build two new programs from the ground up at Whole Foods Market - asset lifecycle management and warranty recovery for across 600+ locations in North America and Europe.

As the Asset Program Manager, you"ll be the first dedicated owner of the Asset Management and Equipment Warranty Program for Whole Foods Market"s growing portfolio of retail stores, distribution centers, and production facilities. You"ll govern the data foundation that powers AI-enabled facilities management, informs capital investment decisions, and enables smarter repair and replacement decisions network-wide.

Key job responsibilities

  • Own asset lifecycle management for 150,000+ equipment assets, establishing data standards and quality controls that scale with business growth.
  • Build the Equipment Warranty Program - creating processes for warranty collection, documentation, registration, and recovery across new and existing locations.
  • Serve as backup system administrator for Corrigo, our facilities management platform, maintaining workflows, user permissions, and data integrity for 300,000+ annual work orders.
  • Develop lifecycle reporting and cost monitoring frameworks that inform equipment replacement strategy and capital investment decisions.
  • Standardize asset data collection across all store acquisition types - new openings, remodels, capital improvement projects, and direct equipment orders.
  • Manage vendor relationships for new store equipment tagging services, including contract negotiations, scheduling, and budgeting.
  • Partner with facilities, construction, procurement, and design teams to align on data standards and equipment specifications.

A day in the life

Your morning might start by reviewing warranty-eligible work orders and checking asset data quality from recent openings. Midday could be a working session with construction on tagging standards for the upcoming new store, or a team call to educate facility managers on improved process/functionality. You"re building as much as you"re managing (reports, processes, playbooks). You"ll also use AI-powered tools to surface trends and repair patterns, turning data into proactive recommendations that reduce spend before issues escalate. Periodically, you"ll travel to store locations to audit data firsthand and connect with operations to understand emerging challenges.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
