DESCRIPTION

At Amazon, we strive to be Earth's most customer-centric company, where people can come to find and discover anything they might want to buy online.

At Amazon Logistics we are building a world class last mile operation, significantly complimented by 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. The approach and technology are nothing short of disruptive, and promise to challenge traditional approaches, and change the way the industry operates.

Amazon Flex is currently building a high paced and lean Japanese leadership team to implement and expand Flex capabilities across Amazon Logistics' Japan business. Amazon is now looking to hire an experienced, passionate, dynamic, analytical, innovative, hands-on, and (most importantly), customer-obsessed program manager.

We are seeking a Sr. Program Manager in Japan to help establish Amazon Flex as the preferred provider in this specific space in order to build our network of Delivery Partners to drive product utilization and service optimization within the Amazon Logistics world. Internally, this leader will work with functions that cut across the organization, including technology, transportation, operations and customer service, to drive a great customer experience for our program and support initiatives across APAC.

The successful candidate will be self-motivated, passionate, highly analytical and detail-oriented, possess superior inter personal and communication skills, and be comfortable working independently to drive growth and change in a fast paced environment. An extreme bias for action is an absolute must, and candidates must demonstrate a superior track record of delivering results.

Responsibilities include:
• Execute Amazon Flex DP scheduling strategy in country, in partnership with Product and Technology teams based in Seattle
