    Description

    Since 2000, Amazon has made its virtual shelf space available to third-party sellers, enabling them to reach hundreds of millions of customers, build their brands, and grow their business. Amazon's Worldwide Selling Partner Services (SPS) is an accelerator for these independent businesses to growand develop, enabling every brand - from the small business with an idea to the large, multi-national corporation - to thrive and grow into a global selling success. Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) was foundational to this mission when it launched in 2006.

    At the time, the process of receivinga customer order, packaging it, dropping it off for delivery, and doing all of this fast was operationally taxing. FBA gave sellers the option to outsource order fulfillment, customer service, and handling returns to Amazon so they could spend more time inventing amazing products for customers. Since then, Amazon has launched more services to support sellers' broader supply chain needs, including Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) and Supply Chain By Amazon (SCA).

    We are re-imagining key components of the Amazon supply chain services, such as inbounding to Amazon, as we broaden their reach to new customer types and evolve our network to meet diverse seller needs. We are looking for strategic and innovative leaders to be in the driving seat for this journey.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
