    About the team
    Customer Fulfilment, or CF, is where it all started for Amazon.

    With the help of emerging technology, we're always looking for ways to offer a bigger, better product range – delivered quickly and affordably.

    We're based in Fulfilment Centres, which are at the heart of Amazon's fast-paced Operations network. Our centres are sometimes referred to as the 'First Mile' because it's where most Amazon packages start their journey. We help to manage dynamic inventory and facilitate speedy deliveries round the clock.
    Lots of different people work in our Fulfilment Centres, so there are plenty of opportunities for every skillset.

    Some of us work with physical products, while others analyse data to help everyone across the business make smart decisions.
