    Highlights

    We own and enable the rhythm of business: recurring cadence, leadership-facing deliverables, strategic initiatives, executive events, and high volume event readiness, delivered across six portfolios including Network of Operations, High Volume Events, Supply Chain, Strategic Initiatives & Executive Events, Business Analytics, and Internal AI Integrations. Afternoons balance fixed-cadence governance work with project work that permanently removes effort-auditing SOPs against current practice, scoping automations by measuring how long recurring document assembly actually takes, prototyping AI-assisted versions, and logging reclaimed hours.

    Description

    Are you ready to be the leverage point that transforms how Amazon"s largest operations organization runs? The ORBIT Program Management Office serves the VP offices across NA Last Mile (AMZL), and this role is unique: rather than owning one portfolio"s outcomes, you"ll own the how across all of them-building the mechanisms, standards, and automations that multiply impact across six portfolios. You"ll convert automation delivery from one-off projects into a repeatable intake-to-delivery pipeline, reclaim hundreds of hours through AI-assisted workflows, and build tools that ship into production the next morning.

    This is a horizontal builder seat with leverage across Supply Chain and Last Mile Operations. You"ll standardize the team"s rhythm of business, own flash reporting and standard work libraries outright, and see the entire NA Last Mile operating rhythm in your first quarter-insight that usually takes years. Automation isn"t a side project here; it"s the mission, and you"ll be accountable for a measurable share of the team"s 60% manual-prep-reduction target. Because this role touches all six portfolios, it"s the natural bench for portfolio ownership as the team grows.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own and scale ORBIT"s standard work library, reporting standards, and flash reporting mechanisms, converting automation delivery from one-off projects into a repeatable intake-to-delivery pipeline that runs without manual intervention
    • Partner with Business Intelligence Engineers and portfolio leaders to design, prototype, and deploy AI-assisted automations-from auto-flagging compliance gaps to document assembly workflows-and track reclaimed hours against the team"s 60% manual-prep-reduction goal
    • Audit and standardize Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) across six portfolios, ensuring mechanisms align with current practice and identifying opportunities to permanently remove manual effort from recurring deliverables
    • Manage cross-functional program lifecycles that span Network Operations, Fleet, Safety, ACES, RME, WHS, PXT, Finance, and Last Mile Tech, applying process improvement methodologies to drive operational excellence and meet promised deadlines
    • Communicate program status, analyze KPIs to create targeted action plans, and collaborate with stakeholders at all levels to resolve blockers, escalate appropriately, and ensure all teams remain aligned on priorities and deliverables

    A day in the life

    Your morning starts with the team pulse: pull status across portfolios, check automated feeds for gaps, resolve data questions with portfolio leaders, and publish before the leadership day begins. Mid-morning brings a working session with a Business Intelligence Engineer to extend an auto-flagging rule so compliance gaps surface on their own. Afternoons balance fixed-cadence governance work with project work that permanently removes effort-auditing SOPs against current practice, scoping automations by measuring how long recurring document assembly actually takes, prototyping AI-assisted versions, and logging reclaimed hours.

    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.
