Our mission: To be Earth's most customer-centric company.

DESCRIPTION

Job summary
At Amazon, we’re looking for a Sr. Program Manager for Amazon Flex. Amazon Flex works directly with independent contractors called delivery partners to make deliveries to our customers. With Amazon Flex, individuals can now be their own boss delivering Amazon packages. Amazon Flex is powered by a mobile app that works in concert with our advanced logistics systems that allows delivery partners to on-board, schedule delivery times, guide them through their deliveries with in-app mapping and navigation, and more.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage Service Level Standards (SLS) for one of the programs we support.
  • Maintain program quality and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
  • Help build reporting mechanisms, identify opportunities, establish mitigation processes, respond to executive escalations, and work with cross-functional partners to communicate issues and progress.
  • Manage full lifecycle of complex cross-functional programs with considerable impact across multiple organizations.
  • Development of the overall SLS signal and exemption program strategy that will improve program evaluation.
  • Tactically drive initiatives forward in partnership with teams in and outside of your organization to deliver (e.g., Flex Business Operations, Last Mile Tech, Flex Business and Analytics).
  • Define the program (mission, vision, tenets), set objectives, analyze data and drive improvements that are quantified with metrics.
  • Work autonomously in an ambiguous environment, seeking to understand business problems, automation limitations, scaling factors, boundary conditions and reasons behind leadership decisions.
  • Partner with teams across the business you support and beyond to source, allocate, and coordinate resources.
  • Partner with customers, internal/external teams, and engineering teams to determine what projects move forward and in what priority order.
  • Oversee gaps between teams, processes and systems, helping teams reduce exposure to classic failure modes (e.g., requirements not sufficiently understood or documented, ineffective cross-team collaboration, long-term impact(s) from third-party solutions, security not considered, insufficient stakeholder review, etc.).
  • Solve ambiguous problems and proactively identify and mitigate risks (before they become roadblocks).
  • Work with program managers, business leaders and executive team to communicate and impact critical business initiatives.
  • Develop, implement, and govern KPI reporting for a portfolio of programs, providing visibility to the milestones, and performance across all projects.
  • Engage other Amazon business units globally to share best practices and improve end to end outcomes for Amazon customers.
  • Create, communicate, and manage budget for projects
  • Lead a team of Program Managers to achieve team goals.
