    Description

    Amazon Warehousing & Distribution (AWD), part of Amazon Supply Chain Services, is building the future of logistics - enabling manufacturers of all sizes to leverage Amazon"s world-class supply chain, transportation network, and advanced technology to move products from factory floor to customer door faster, more reliably, and at significantly lower cost.

    We are looking for an entrepreneurial, results-oriented Sr. Program Manager to own end-to-end planning and execution of product initiatives that drive seller success and accelerate AWD"s evolution as the single, integrated supply chain solution for sellers operating across multiple channels. This is a unique opportunity to operate in a fast-paced, startup-like environment within Amazon - where speed, ownership, and customer obsession drive everything we do.

    Key job responsibilities

    Operational Planning: Lead AWD"s annual and mid-year planning cycles - owning goal-setting and cross-functional alignment to long-range targets.

    Product Initiative Execution: Define roadmaps, milestones, and success metrics; drive delivery across product, engineering, operations, and finance teams.

    Launch Readiness: Own change management, stakeholder communication, and risk mitigation to ensure seamless rollouts of new capabilities.

    Performance & Insights: Establish mechanisms to measure initiative impact and drive continuous improvement through data-driven retrospectives.

    Seller Advocacy: Translate seller needs into actionable program requirements that inform product priorities.

    Process & Scalability: Build frameworks and processes that support AWD"s rapid growth and increasing complexity.

    Strategic Input: Feed execution learnings back into OP planning cycles to shape future investment priorities.

    A day in the life

    No two days are the same. One morning you"re leading an OP1 planning session, aligning stakeholders on resource narratives and long-range goals. By midday, you"re in a cross-functional sprint review with Product and Engineering, tracking milestones and unblocking dependencies for an upcoming launch. Later, you"re synthesizing program health data to surface risks, then preparing a strategic business review for leadership that connects initiative progress to seller outcomes. This role blends operational planning, cross-functional execution, and strategic storytelling - all in service of scaling AWD"s product capabilities.

    About the team

    The Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) team is building a best-in-class bulk storage offering that delivers meaningful value for our customers, sellers, and Amazon. We operate at the intersection of supply chain innovation and customer obsession - moving fast, embracing ambiguity, and challenging the status quo. Our mission is to simplify logistics so sellers can focus on growing their business, while driving efficiency and scale across Amazon"s fulfillment network. We thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where bold ideas are encouraged.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    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
    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.
