Come join the team and help us make historyThe EU AMZL Fleet Planning, Analytics (FPA) operates within Global Fleet & Products (GFP), and is responsible for the EU AMZL fleet requirement definition to source Armada/Rentals, short-term deployment scheduling, business intelligence and analytics support, with the North Star to scale fleet capacity efficiently. By Peak 2023, EU AMZL will achieve a fleet size of 46K vans (Armada 70%, Rental 30%), +13% YoY, ) CAGR +24%, with a Supply Over Demand of 1.1K/3%, -7.7K/-2,750bps YoY and a FY utilization growth target of +400bps YoY. The Fleet Demand planners within FPA team, are comparable to other companies’ “Demand Planner” profiles, but facing the peculiar challenges to integrate upstream planning cycles, e.g. from SCOT/Top Line to LTP/TL disaggregation, from MRP to DA Labour Plan (LPT) and DSP diversification planning, to create demand plans for diesel (ICE), Electric Vehicles (EV), Long/Short Wheel Base (LWB/SWB) vans requirements across Europe for long (+3y) and medium term ( We are searching for a talented Principal Product Manager to enable the success of EU GFP program within the high-growth, fast-paced Amazon Logistics organization. The role will be responsible for defining the fleet requirements of new business customers to EU GFP (SWA, DSP Lite, and others as of OP2 2024) for EU AMZL and for driving the related vehicle procurement and supply chain downstream decisions (OEM, upfitting, scheduling, transportation), impacting hundreds of $ millions in CAPEX/OPEX; by doing it, they will be ultimately responsible for building the right capacity to deliver peak demand whilst ensuring target fleet utilization is achieved and cost optimized.
