AddressDESCRIPTION
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.
Two roles are available located in Melbourne and Sydney; the Melbourne role is aligned with the Southern region of our delivery station network, supporting stations in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia; and the Sydney role with the Northern region covering Sydney and Brisbane. Travel between these regions as well as our Sydney office on a monthly basis is expected.
