    Job Description

    Come build the version of reverse logistics that doesn"t need us. Every day, Amazon Shipping customers hand us packages and Counters stores hand us returns. Every one of those pickups is a promise. When that promise is at risk Reverse Logistics and Driver Support (ROADS) is the team that catches it. We"re good at catching. We need a Sr. Program Manager to help us build for the day we don"t have to.

    ROADS is the centralized layer that protects reverse logistics performance across Ship with Amazon (SWA) and Counters Returns. We own real-time intervention, resolve escalations end to end, and - this is the part that matters - we build the mechanisms that make those interventions unnecessary.

    In this role you will:

    • Own outcomes, not status decks.
    • Launch, not inherit.
    • Automate what you touch.
    • Have real cross-functional influence.

    Up to 10% travel may be required.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Manage and oversee various cross-functional programs, ensuring successful delivery.
    • Develop and refine program strategies, effectively leading and motivating teams.
    • Set clear objectives for programs, leveraging data analytics to drive improvements and achieve metrics.
    • Navigate and resolve ambiguities in business scenarios, applying creative problem-solving skills.
    • Foster collaboration with internal and external partners to optimize resource allocation and project success.
    • Evaluate and prioritize projects in conjunction with customer needs and technical team inputs.
    • Bridge gaps in team dynamics, processes, and systems, preventing common project pitfalls.
    • Identify and mitigate risks, preventing them from escalating into major issues.
    • Regularly communicate with senior managers, business leaders, and other stakeholders to support key business initiatives.
    • Develop, implement, and oversee KPI reporting for a program portfolio, ensuring clear visibility of milestones and project performance.
    • Manage and communicate project budgets effectively.

    About Company

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

    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.
