Senior Manager - South Marston, Swindon, United Kingdom - Amazon TA

Description

Operations is the beating heart of Amazon.

This key part of our business makes sure we fulfil and dispatch orders efficiently so that our customers get their items on time.

It's driven by Operations Managers who bring the team together to push excellence in safety, quality and productivity across our sites.

At your site, you'll lead other managers and create the operational plan that helps your teams meet their targets. This role is all about driving operational excellence to create the Amazon of tomorrow.
Lead operational teams on a shift, deal with issues, and positively impact site performance

• Analyse shift performance against relevant business objectives, and put in place actions to improve our operational excellence
• Design and deliver initiatives across the sites to improve operational performance

You'll lead shifts at one of our operational sites.

A typical day will involve meetings with different areas of the business, deep diving into performance and risk metrics for sites, and looking ahead to prepare for different levels of demand.

Amazon Logistics, or AMZL, handles 'last mile' delivery duties in partnership with third-party distribution businesses.

We utilise creative thinking and continuous improvement initiatives to get millions of physical products into the hands of our customers.

Our team is people-focused and supportive, particularly as lots of our people work through the night. We focus mostly on operations, with 24/7 shifts in most of our locations.
Meanwhile, our 'on the road' people work with Amazon Flex - a network of delivery contractors. Every year, we continually raise the bar for customer experience with new, innovative delivery services.

We look for new ways to overcome industry wide logistics challenges and new ideas to reduce our carbon footprint, supported by a portfolio of cutting-edge vehicles (including Electric Vehicles) and technology to help us do just that.
