You'll work with management teams to help us meet a number of operational goals by driving stakeholders through WBR, MBR, and QBRs. This dynamic role offers plenty of opportunities to continue learning every day.

Amazon Flex works directly with independent contractors - called delivery partners (DPs) - to make deliveries to our customers. With Amazon Flex, individuals can be their own boss delivering Amazon packages. Amazon Flex is powered by a mobile app that works in concert with our advanced logistics systems that allows delivery partners to onboard, schedule delivery times, guide them through their deliveries with in-app mapping and navigation, and more. The approach and technology are disruptive and promise to challenge traditional approaches, changing the way the industry operates.

The successful candidate will be self-motivated, passionate, analytical, and detail-oriented, possess superior interpersonal and communication skills, and be comfortable working independently to drive growth and change in a fast-paced environment.

A day in the life
As a Program Manager, you'll be at the forefront of making Amazon's delivery network better - which means improving safety, productivity, and quality. Your role will require you to go deep into our data to root cause misses to goals or to identify future improvement opportunities and develop plans with operational and technology teams to fix those issues for the short and long term.

You will report out business performance metrics on a daily, weekly, and monthly level, highlight the key changes made and opportunities that lie ahead and leverage your interpersonal skills to receive buy-in and support to deliver those changes. You will play an active part in our long-term planning of the program by Thinking Big towards our next large scale opportunities and formulating business cases to have our technology teams build what may be required for the SSD network.
