Area Manager, Operations, AMZL

Operations is the beating heart of Amazon. As an Area Manager at a Delivery Station, this role sits at the centre of last-mile logistics, ensuring orders are fulfilled, dispatched, and delivered to customers on time and to the highest standard. The position involves leading a team focused on safety, efficiency, and quality, while driving continuous improvement projects across the operation.

Key job responsibilities

• Build, oversee, and champion a culture of safety and associate wellbeing across all shifts

• Analyse operational performance data and implement changes to maintain consistently high quality and productivity standards

• Lead and manage process improvement projects to streamline workflows and optimise Delivery Station output

A day in the life

No two days are the same in a Delivery Station. Responsibilities span routine team management and daily operational tasks through to large-scale contingency planning and network-wide process improvement initiatives. The primary focus remains on owning a culture of safety, upholding quality standards, and ensuring each shift performs at its best. Mentoring emerging talent and role-modelling Amazon's Leadership Principles are equally central to the day-to-day experience.
