Description

　　This role is based out of Munich, DE.

　　Amazon Business (AB) is re-inventing B2B eCommerce by offering business customers of all sizes the same advantages Amazon has already brought to consumers including broad selection, low pricing, and great customer service. WW Amazon Business Operations is building the operations and supply chain solutions that will enable AB’s rapid growth by re-engineering many parts of our supply chain to offer bulk, consolidated, pallet deliveries and many other services that business customers require. As an early team member, you will be involved in helping re-imagine what a B2B supply chain should look like and playing a key role in the technology that will power our supply chain.

　　We are looking for Program Managers in EU with a strong delivery record and proven project management experience to own strategic, tactical, cross-functional and technology projects and programs. These roles require scoping and creating project plans, developing processes, coordinating and driving execution, and communicating to senior management on status, risks and process/product changes. Cross-team coordination, project management and executive presentation skills are essential. This role will provide a great opportunity to build the foundations of Amazon's B2B supply chain in EU, and will work extensively in launching features in the complex last mile delivery space.
