Job ID: 10485994 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Power that runs the world | Discover careers in Operations

Operations roles at Amazon put you at the center of how things move from a click to a doorstep. You'll help design, improve, and run systems that connect people, products, and places, at scale. You'll take ownership early, work closely with teams to solve real-world challenges, and see the direct results of your decisions as they reach customers every day. Here, the impact of what you build isn't abstract, it's visible, immediate, and meaningful - keeping one of the world's most complex operations moving forward. This is where your journey takes shape through action, responsibility, and the opportunity to grow in many directions.

This is not a corporate, remote or office-based position. This is a full-time, early career position located within one of Amazon’s fulfillment centers, sort centers, delivery stations or other operations buildings. Amazon is seeking customer focused individuals to lead a team of hourly employees across our Operations network! Our warehouses are fast-paced environments where standing, walking, and having on-the-production floor conversations are common as a supply chain leader.

As an Area Manager, you will be responsible for engaging, leading and developing your team in a warehouse environment. Your main focus will be motivating, mentoring, and managing your team to meet goals. Amazon provides extensive training and development to become an exceptional people leader. As a people manager, you will ensure that your team has all the tools needed to succeed and maintain the highest levels of safety, quality, attendance and performance at work.
