As a Sr Operations Program Manager at Amazon Leo, you’ll start your day reviewing upcoming deliveries, blockers and constraints, production metrics and WIP status across your assigned contract manufacturers. You’ll participate in daily production meetings to address, update and elevate immediate issues and coordinate with cross‑functional teams’ path‑to‑green to resolve shipments.

Throughout the day, you’ll analyze production performance data to identify bottlenecks, conduct deep‑dive investigations into constraints, and work with suppliers to implement process improvements to ensure production current and future rates and deliveries are met and sustainable.
