Amazon Logistics Station Leader, Amazon Logistics

At Amazon we treat every single day like its day one. And we never sit still while we do it.
Are you up for crafting solutions and solving tomorrow’s problems today?

Then we have the opportunity for you

We’re seeking a Delivery Station Manager to join our Amazon Logistics team in Rio de Janeiro - RJ. You’ll operate out of one of our dynamic Delivery Stations: they are at the heart of Amazon’s rapidly growing Operations and Logistics network: they’re where we sort and process our parcels.
As a Delivery Station Manager, you’ll deliver inspiring, supportive leadership for the teams you lead. But at the same time, you don’t shy away from rolling up your sleeves and getting involved whenever necessary.

You’ll be directly responsible for developing a team of Shift Managers and their direct reports: meanwhile, you will report to the Senior Operations Manager. The quality of your leadership is key to success in this role: you’ll tactfully motivate and inspire your teams to do their best work, while planning schedules and activities that balance their needs with that of the business.

Another key aspect of the role is to lead on numerous process improvement projects, with the aim of streamlining all activities, both for yourself and the team members you lead. The ideas, innovation and leaps out of the status quo that you come up with could very well be rolled out across the Amazon network: this immense opportunity is yours for the taking.
