Program Manager, Global Benchmarking, Standards, and Audit

Description

Are you interested in defining the future operating model for Amazon’s global delivery operations and creating a world-class experience for our customers, associates, and driver partners? Amazon Logistics (AMZL) delivery operations are on pace to become one of the largest parcel carriers in the world. Robust process improvement and development leverages delivery station and driver capacities that are critical to accomplishing that scale. All while delivering a world-class customer experience.

The Global Benchmarking, Standards, and Audit (GBSA) team leads defining, implementing, measuring and improving standard work processes that will drive customer experience and performance improvement within Amazon's delivery station network. We are accountable for influencing business-critical decisions that enable scale and deliver consistent, industry-leading performance within our AMZL Operations. We raise the bar on customer experience through lowering costs and supporting rapid growth. We act as a catalyst for change by driving innovation at the operator level, prioritizing technology initiatives and supporting engineering design innovations.

While all GBSA programs are part of the same mechanism, interacting closely to drive operational performance, this role is focused on the Standards Program. This role will be part of the global standards subject-matter expert (SME) network. Regional Standards SMEs own localization as well as peer and stakeholder engagements to provide the best operational performance aligned with network goals.

To be successful in this role, you will need to be an influence capable of working effectively with senior leadership across multiple organizations and geographies. You will also need to be a self-starter, proven program leader, diligent project leader, communicator, and problem-solver, with strong analytical skills. You will evaluate opportunities for prioritization and impact, without requiring constant guidance. You will work with cross-functional teams on complex logistics problems, deal with ambiguity and advocate on behalf of the customer.
