Description

　　Amazon’s Transportation Managers play a central role in our global business. They keep our complex, international supply chains working seamlessly and efficiently. As a Transportation Manager, you will work closely with multiple stakeholders across Amazon, from Operational teams who are fulfilling customer orders to Retail teams and external partners in our middle mile. You’ll help us optimise our supply chains to make our customer experience even better and our business more energy and cost efficient.

　　This role is based at our corporate office in Munich, Germany.

　　Key job responsibilities

　　Define supply chain and operating models for various businesses, including freight and intermodal

　　Analyse and interpret data to improve efficiency across supply chains and multiple operations

　　Partner with teams to advise on and manage operational challenges

　　Support the planning and organisation of complex projects

　　A day in the life

　　Being a Transportation Manager for Amazon involves lots of problem solving. You’ll work with a number of teams to navigate challenges as and when situations impact our network. You’ll spend time resolving temporary issues and looking at the bigger picture to drive Amazon towards achieving new objectives. This role is both proactive and reactive, and you’ll have the opportunity to help forecast and plan for new projects.

　　As a Transportation Manager, you’ll need to help with both on-the-ground tasks and more tactical work. No two days will be the same. You could spend one day helping to define our supply chain and operating models and the next assisting with a site’s resource plan for a busy period. Having so much variety in your role means you’ll be able to learn something new every day.

　　You will work with our Linehaul Service Partners and define a linehaul strategy with them, navigating through operational issues and guide them to deliver the best service for our customers.
