Shape the future of global delivery - own programs that make cross-border shipping as fast and simple as domestic for customers in 190+ countries.

At Amazon, we"re guided by the principle that what"s good for customers is good for everyone. This role directly accelerates Amazon"s flywheel by making cross-border delivery faster and more reliable - improving customer experience, attracting more international sellers to our marketplace, and expanding the selection available to customers worldwide.

Amazon Global Logistics is seeking an experienced Program Manager to independently own and deliver strategic cross-border export programs that improve delivery speed for international customers. You will scope and create project plans, develop processes, coordinate cross-functional execution, and communicate status, risks, and recommendations to senior leadership. In this role, you will own speed programs related to our carrier and third-party partners, working cross-functionally to drive customer-centric outcomes across multiple verticals.

Key job responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end delivery of cross-functional export speed programs, developing project plans, coordinating execution, and managing budgets from conception through completion.
  • Leverage data analytics (SQL, Excel) to set program objectives, identify improvement opportunities, and drive measurable performance metrics for carrier and partner operations.
  • Navigate ambiguous business scenarios with structured problem-solving, identifying and mitigating risks before they escalate into major issues.
  • Foster collaboration across internal teams and external partners (carriers, customs brokers, logistics providers) to optimize resource allocation and prioritize projects aligned with customer needs.
  • Develop and oversee KPI reporting for a program portfolio, ensuring clear visibility of milestones, performance, and progress for senior leadership.
  • Communicate status, risks, and process changes to senior managers and business leaders through executive presentations and business reviews.

A day in the life

As a Program Manager on the Cross Border Exports team, you"ll develop optimized processes to handle export shipments to neighboring countries via ground shipping options. You"ll create cost-effective, fast delivery services for international customers, ensuring seamless customs clearance and last-mile delivery. Your days will involve analyzing data to identify areas for improvement, developing action plans, and implementing process optimizations that enhance the customer experience. You"ll approach complex challenges as opportunities to find innovative solutions - your work will be instrumental in making the world a smaller place, one package at a time.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

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.
