DESCRIPTION

Join us at the cutting edge of Amazon's sustainability initiatives to work on environmental and social advancements to support Amazon's long term worldwide sustainability strategy. At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people.

The Worldwide Sustainability (WWS) organization capitalizes on Amazon’s scale, speed, and ability to build, invent and simplify, a more resilient and sustainable company. We manage our social and environmental impacts globally, and drive solutions that enable our customers, businesses, and the world to become more sustainable.

Amazon's Social Responsibility program drives customer trust, business continuity, and sustainable social impact by embedding respect for human rights and the environment throughout Amazon’s entire value chain. We implement company-wide standards and commitments (such as our Global Human Rights Principles and Supply Chain Standards). We seek to continuously improve the tools and processes used in integrating human rights and environmental due diligence across the business.

We are looking for a self-motivated, program manager to oversee the development of a social responsibility program to support the operations in North America. This program manager will work with business partners such as Operations, procurement, transportation and logistics, PR, Legal, HR and compliance to design and implement mechanisms to meet Amazon’s human rights principles and supply chain standards. This position requires written communication skills, attention to detail, and organizational and project management abilities.

The program manager will be expected to handle day-to-day issues (constantly thinking about how to invent and simplify to improve), and will also be expected to strategize on longer-term, program-wide initiatives.

Key job responsibilities
• Coordinate with multiple Amazon businesses and functions, as well as third-party social responsibility service providers and suppliers

• Identify and research programmatic opportunities (tools, resources, process gaps) and use a data-driven approach to write project proposals/white papers
• Create operational metrics and business reporting
• Innovate with regard to data collection and analysis, methodologies, and technology
• Develop communications and self-service tools that will reach a large number of supplier and business stakeholders at scale to effectively implement programs
• Develop mechanisms to uphold Amazon policies and standards, e.g., standard operating procedures
• Influence without authority
