    Job Description

    At Amazon, we are working to be Earth's most customer-centric company. One customer experience we are constantly looking to improve is how we fulfill and deliver orders - ensuring customers receive what they need, when they need it, as quickly, accurately, safely, and cost effectively as possible.

    Amazon Flex is an important part of Amazon's last-mile delivery network, providing flexible capacity that enables Amazon to serve customers across a growing range of geographies, delivery speeds, business lines, and operating models.

    The Worldwide Flex Strategy - Central Growth & Expansion team works across Amazon to identify, develop, and scale new growth opportunities for Amazon Flex. We partner closely with regional business and operations teams, Product, Technology, Finance, Legal, Compliance, and other Last Mile organizations to translate business and customer needs into scalable programs and operating models.

    As a Program Manager, Growth & Expansion, you will own cross-functional programs through their end-to-end lifecycle - from problem definition, business requirements, and planning through execution, launch, stabilization, and transition to business-as-usual operations. You will work across multiple organizations and geographies, operate in environments with significant ambiguity, use data to inform decisions, and drive alignment across stakeholders with competing priorities.

    This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex business problems, building structure where processes are still evolving, and turning ideas into scalable programs with measurable customer and business impact.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own the end-to-end planning and execution of cross-functional growth, expansion, and new-business programs, including defining requirements, milestones, success metrics, dependencies, risks, and launch plans.
    • Work backwards from customer, Delivery Partner, and business needs to identify problems, evaluate opportunities, and develop scalable program solutions.
    • Partner with Product, Technology, Operations, Finance, Legal, Compliance, and regional teams to translate business needs into clear program and functional requirements.
    • Use data, financial and operational metrics, and customer insights to evaluate opportunities, make recommendations, and drive decisions.
    • Establish and operate mechanisms that maintain program visibility and accountability, including roadmap reviews, launch-readiness reviews, risk and dependency tracking, and post-launch performance reviews.
    • Identify risks and trade-offs early, drive timely decisions, remove blockers, and escalate appropriately when programs require leadership intervention.
    • Communicate program strategy, decisions, risks, and results clearly to senior stakeholders through written narratives, business reviews, and executive-level updates.
    • Develop repeatable mechanisms, launch playbooks, and operating processes that enable successful programs to scale across businesses and geographies.
    • Partner with regional teams to transition mature programs into sustainable business-as-usual ownership while capturing and applying learnings to future launches.

    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.
