    Job Description

    As a Cloud Logistics Program Manager, you will serve as the connective tissue between operations execution and performance measurement across both logistics and warehousing services. You will own the full metrics lifecycle - from establishing goals and targets, to tracking performance, to reporting actuals vs. targets for stakeholders across the network. You will simultaneously drive day-to-day operations execution while identifying and implementing structural efficiency improvements that reduce cost, improve throughput, and elevate service levels.

    Key job responsibilities

    Design and own the performance metrics framework for transportation and warehousing operations, establishing baseline targets, stretch goals, and tolerance thresholds across key indicators including on-time delivery, warehouse utilization, and carrier performance

    Partner with Operations teams and senior leadership to align metrics targets with organizational objectives and network strategy goals.

    Build and maintain a unified scorecard spanning both logistics (carrier, lane, mode) and warehousing (throughput, labor, space utilization) dimensions, ensuring end-to-end supply chain visibility.

    Reporting & Actuals vs. Targets Tracking

    Develop and publish recurring performance reports - daily, weekly, and monthly - tracking actuals against established targets and surfacing variance trends requiring intervention.

    Build automated reporting pipelines and dashboards that translate raw operational data into clear, actionable insights for operations managers and senior leadership

    Own root cause analysis for metric deviations, documenting findings and driving corrective action plans with accountable stakeholders.

    Support QBR and MBR reporting cycles with structured narratives that contextualize performance trends against operational and market conditions.

    Operations Execution

    Lead day-to-day transportation and warehousing operations execution, ensuring service continuity, compliance with SOPs, and alignment with carrier and LSP commitments

    Serve as an escalation point for operational issues - carrier failures, capacity shortfalls, warehouse throughput bottlenecks - coordinating rapid resolution across internal teams and 3P providers.

    Operational Efficiency & Continuous Improvement

    Identify inefficiencies across transportation lanes and warehousing operations through data analysis, and develop structured improvement initiatives with measurable outcomes

    Build and maintain a continuous improvement pipeline - tracking initiative status, projected savings, and realized impact against plan.

    Develop supplier and carrier performance measurement frameworks that drive accountability and continuous improvement

    Partner with category, procurement, and systems teams to align operational efficiency initiatives with broader network strategy and cost reduction goals

    Stakeholder Alignment & Cross-functional Partnership.

    Align with building leadership, regional operations, Finance, and centralized procurement to ensure metrics and efficiency programs reflect both site-level realities and network-wide priorities.

    Develop relationships across the operations network to ensure best practices in reporting, tracking, and performance management are shared and implemented consistently.

    A day in the life

    You will start your morning reviewing deployment metrics and triaging incoming requests from teams who rely on your tools and reports. By midday, you might be deep in a design review for a new supplier scoring module or pairing with a teammate to debug a data ingestion issue. Afternoons often involve syncing with stakeholders to understand evolving operational needs and translating those into priorities.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. 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.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    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

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. 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.
