Military - experienced Operations/production Manager

Leadership Role In Logistics Centers

Decisive for a leadership position in our logistics centers is the ability to lead a team, motivate and inspire employees, set ambitious and achievable goals for yourself and the team, and then implement these goals together. Many soldiers have accumulated years of such valuable experiences and Amazon offers the opportunity to bring this experience and knowledge into the business. The Military Recruiting Team of Amazon is available to discuss the numerous opportunities within Amazon Operations. We have the same expectations for all leaders, whether they have military experience or not: to pioneer for our customers and continue to work on making Amazon the most customer-oriented company in the world.

The operational business area is the heart of Amazon. This essential part of our company ensures that we efficiently fulfill and ship orders so that our customers receive their items on time. It is supported by Operations Managers who bring together the team to promote excellent safety, quality, and productivity at all our locations. You coordinate other managers at your location and create the operational plan that helps your teams achieve their goals.

A day in the life: You take over the shift leadership at one of our operational sites. Additionally, you act as the main interface between several different teams, including the finance, security, and operational integration teams.
