Field Operations Manager, Amazon Flex AU

At Amazon 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 onboard, schedule delivery times, guide them through their deliveries with in-app mapping and navigation, and more.

We are seeking a passionate, dynamic, analytical, innovative, hands-on, and customer-obsessed Field Operations Manager to help grow our network of Delivery Partners and ensure that we are offering them the support to deliver on our customer promise. The successful applicant will act as the lynchpin between the Flex program and our daily operations in the network of Delivery Stations across Australia. They will partner with station teams to deliver world-class safety, optimise operational processes and provide hands-on support to the tens of thousands of Delivery Partners driving with us every day, while also implementing major operational projects and programs. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in an exciting, fast growing last mile delivery operation.

This role will own overall Field Operations for Australia, supported by two junior Field Operations Managers each responsible for one of the two delivery station regions in Australia: the North region, covering NSW and QLD; and the South region, covering VIC, SA and WA.

The successful candidate will be self-motivated, passionate, highly analytical and detail-oriented, possess superior inter-personal and communication skills, and be comfortable working hands-on alongside operations teams in our delivery station network to drive safety, quality and productivity in a fast-paced environment. A strong bias for action is an absolute must, and candidates must demonstrate a superior track record of delivering results.
