About the team:

The logistics department at Amazon (AMZL) is responsible for the "last-mile logistics" – that is, the delivery of our packages in partnership with third-party providers. We think creatively and implement initiatives for continuous improvement to deliver millions of physical products to our customers. Our goal is to make the delivery experience as smooth as possible for our customers and to introduce global delivery solutions for our latest offerings.

These activities are carried out by two groups of employees. Our "internal" employees prepare millions of products for shipment to our delivery teams. Our team is people-oriented and helpful. This is especially important because many of our employees work night shifts. Our focus is primarily on the operational business. Most of our locations operate around the clock. Our "field" employees, meanwhile, work with Amazon Flex – a contractor network for delivery. Every year we set new standards in terms of customer experience and offer new, innovative delivery services. We are looking for new ways to overcome industry-wide logistics challenges, as well as new ideas to reduce our carbon footprint. A fleet of innovative vehicles (including electric vehicles) and state-of-the-art technology support us in this.
