Graduate Area Manager

****Please note that on-site presence is required. The role is based in BLQ1 - Castelguglielmo (Rovigo) ****
Would you like to work as part of an innovative, fast-paced, and motivated team?
Are you up for creating solutions and solving tomorrow's operational and logistical challenges today?
Amazon strives to consistently delight customers by efficiently delivering products all over the world. Our teams possess a wide range of skills and expertise, from business analysis and inventory management to engineering. With so many Fulfilment Centers (FC) and Delivery Stations worldwide, Amazon is growing at a pace that requires the best and brightest talent to be brought in to our company to help us continue to make history.
We are seeking Graduate Area/Shift Managers to join our vast fulfilment and operations network, in various locations across the EU. This is a permanent position from day one.
When you join Amazon as an Area/Shift 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.
What will you be doing?
You'll be an inspiring leader in one of the following areas within Customer Fulfillment operations: Receive, Stow, Pick, Pack or Ship. Or you might work at one of our Delivery Stations, where you will work to continuously improve the efficiency of delivery processes, ensuring that customer orders are delivered as quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively as possible.
In this position, you will lead a team or a process from day one. This kind of opportunity isn't often presented to graduates fresh out of university. At Amazon, however, we trust the people we hire and provide plenty of support to help you hit the ground running. Our culture is very learn-by-doing oriented; you will take control of your career.
You'll exercise sound judgement, making sure progress and targets are realistic and achievable. And it'll be worth it; the impact you could have, within one of the world's biggest, most innovative companies, won't go unnoticed. With us, you can have a hand in creating the future of operations and logistics.

A day in the life
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.
