Description

Do you want to lead design of one of Amazon's last mile business programs? Do you thrive while working backwards from a customer problem statement and designing entirely new programs from the ground up? Are you looking for a role where you can have a highly visible international impact on the business? The Worldwide Delivery Service Partner (DSP) Product and Strategy organization is seeking a Senior Program Manager to define and execute our global uniforms strategy, supporting Amazon's rapidly expanding Last Mile delivery capabilities.
At Amazon, we're working to be the most Customer-centric company on earth. The Worldwide DSP Product and Strategy team is constantly re-inventing the customer experience. We're doing so by building a world class last mile operation that raises the bar on customer expectations through a rapidly expanding global network of entrepreneur owned and operated small businesses (the DSP program). To enable the program to scale in a sustainable way, we're seeking an exceptional Senior Program Manager who will define the vision and strategy for our uniforms product line, supporting a network of 3500+ individual entrepreneurs across 22 countries.

In this role, you will be responsible for building our global uniforms supply chain strategy, ensuring we deliver high-quality, regionally-appropriate uniforms that meet the diverse needs of our DSP partners and their DAs actually want to wear. You'll develop innovative solutions for three critical areas: designing uniforms that adapt to our expanding delivery modes and geographic presence, creating a centralized forecasting and inventory management system, and establishing a cost-effective, efficient supply chain that can rapidly deliver uniforms and new designs across our global network. This is a new and fast-growing space with unique challenges in scaling a tested model across highly variable environments. You will work with cross-functional teams to leverage best practices from various last mile channels, using diverse technology to ideate, design, and launch solutions that serve our DSP partners' evolving needs – from traditional vehicle delivery to innovative new transportation modes. The optimal fit for this role will be a candidate wanting to roll-up their sleeves, dive into complex supply chain challenges, develop a path forward by working with multiple stakeholders, and convince senior management that their solution is the best one.
This will be a high visibility global role, meaning that the optimal candidate will be comfortable driving critical business decisions in fast paced, high pressure, and often ambiguous environments, and elevating critical one-way door decisions to senior leadership. A successful candidate will be customer focused, highly analytical, resourceful, a big thinker, a strong writer, and able to operate at all levels of the organization. Any background in logistics, manufacturing, last mile, supply chain and/or experience in risk management and program management will be considered a plus. Our organization is based in the US, but we support global operations across Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Domestic and international travel will be required 10-20% of the time.
