DESCRIPTION

Operations Manager (m/f)

At Amazon, we pioneer.
We also treat every single day like it’s day one. And we never sit still while we do it.
Are you up for crafting solutions and solving tomorrow’s problems today?

Then we have the opportunity for you!
We’re seeking an experienced, Operations Manager to join our Customer Fulfillment team.

As an Operations Manager, you’ll deliver inspiring, supportive leadership for the teams you lead. But at the same time, you don’t shy away from rolling up your sleeves and getting involved whenever necessary.

The quality of your leadership is key to success in this role: you’ll tactfully motivate and inspire your teams to do their best work, while planning schedules and activities that balance their needs with that of the business.
Another key aspect of the role is to lead on numerous process improvement projects, with the aim of streamlining all activities, both for yourself and the team members you lead. The ideas, innovation and leaps out of the status quo that you come up with could very well be rolled out across the Amazon network: this immense opportunity is yours for the taking.
