    Job Description

    Are you a results-driven operations leader who thrives on building high-performing teams and solving complex challenges at scale? Amazon is looking for a Senior Manager, Operations to lead fulfillment center operations and drive meaningful improvements across safety, people experience, and operational performance. In this role, you will own the strategy and execution for a large operational function, influencing outcomes that directly impact millions of customers. You will lead through systems and mechanisms rather than individual execution, translating data into actionable insights while creating an environment where your teams can do their best work. If you are energized by the opportunity to shape how a world-class supply chain operates and to develop the next generation of leaders, this role is for you.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Lead a large fulfillment center operations function, establishing scalable processes and performance mechanisms that drive safety, quality, and productivity outcomes across your organization.
    • Build, coach, and develop a team of operations leaders by providing continuous feedback, identifying growth opportunities, and creating an inclusive environment where all team members contribute and thrive.
    • Analyze operational data from multiple sources to identify trends, solve complex problems through root cause analysis, and implement preventive solutions that improve long-term performance.
    • Collaborate cross-functionally with site leadership and partner teams to align on strategic priorities, integrate plans across departments, and drive collective success during both steady-state and peak operations.
    • Champion a culture of safety by modeling safe behaviors, incorporating safety considerations into operational planning, and ensuring your team consistently meets or exceeds safety standards.

    A day in the life

    You start your day reviewing key operational metrics and connecting with your leadership team to align on priorities. From there, you may walk the floor to observe processes firsthand, coach a frontline manager through a challenging situation, or lead a cross-functional meeting to address a capacity constraint. You spend time reviewing safety performance data, preparing a strategic narrative for senior leadership, and evaluating a new process improvement your team has piloted. Throughout it all, you balance tactical problem-solving with longer-term planning to keep your operation running smoothly.

    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.
