Senior Program Manager, Last-Mile Optimization & Strategy

Job :  |  Services LLC

At Amazon, we're working to be the most Customer-centric company on earth. One customer experience that we’re constantly looking to take to a new level is how we fulfill and deliver their orders. Our goal is to exceed the expectations of all our customers by ensuring that their orders, no matter how large or small are delivered where and when they need them, as quickly, accurately, and cost effectively as possible.

To meet this goal, Amazon is continually striving to innovate and provide best in class service levels through the introduction of pioneering new products and services in the last mile delivery space. We are doing this by building a world class last mile operation, significantly complimented by Amazon Flex. Amazon Flex works directly with independent contractors – called delivery partners – to make deliveries to our customers.

With Amazon Flex, individuals can now be their own boss delivering Amazon packages. This role affords an opportunity to work on innovation, while directly contributing to driving an improved experience for Amazon customers and Delivery Partners.

As a Sr. Program Manager for NA Flex Business Optimization, Strategy, and Scaling (BOSS) you will own strategy and initiatives around improving the cost and quality of Flex Delivery.
