Area Manager

When you join Amazon as an Area Manager, you’ll gain experience leading a large and diverse team to make sure your area of the business keeps pace with demand. In this hands-on role, you’ll learn about the complexity of operations at a global business and what it takes to make everything run seamlessly. While you implement your team’s approach to drive productivity, you’ll also work closely with your colleagues to address challenges, which means no two days will be the same.

1. Promote a culture of safety and wellbeing
2. Analyse and implement corrective actions to ensure quality and productivity are at consistently high levels, and business objectives are met across all shifts
3. Support and lead a team while handling administrative work alongside building and supporting a strong team culture
4. Analyse performance and suggest process improvements to optimise work and improve customer service
5. Collaborate with other managers to standardise shift processes

You’ll work shifts and be based at one of our operational sites. Your main focus will be to maintain safety standards within your team and across your site. You’ll also monitor and maintain process efficiency. Your days will always include prioritising routine team management and daily operational tasks, alongside other tasks like individual escalations, process improvement work, and wide-scale operational contingency planning.

Being a key part of the operations team involves working with colleagues in other teams and external partners to ensure we stay on track to meet our customer demands and targets. This will involve analysing data and performance metrics with leaders in your business area, as well as discussing the operational pros and cons of technical improvements with engineers.

Our Amazon Grocery Logistics (AGL) team breathes life into our newest ideas and incubates them until they grow into sophisticated businesses. We’ve got the energy of an exciting start-up, as our team works on Amazon’s next big project, under the umbrella of one of the world’s biggest companies.

We work behind the scenes to support new areas of the business - like Amazon Fresh stores and our online grocery service. There are lots of opportunities for every skill set, from operations to supply chain to data management.

AGL’s goal is to help develop new capabilities within Amazon on behalf of our customers. This entrepreneurial team has a deep understanding of the needs of our customers, employees, and partners, and helps to develop Amazon businesses of all sizes. We grow new opportunities that will help Amazon diversify even more, taking them from concepts to mature operations that operate as standalone businesses. This dynamic environment supports our people’s growth and development.
