DESCRIPTION
Amazon is looking for a highly analytical program manager to join the Canada Supply Chain team. Canada Supply Chain team is responsible for the long-term capacity and network architecture planning, as well as the short-term supply chain execution between Amazon’s sellers/vendors, fulfillment centers and downstream partners.

As a Program Manager, you will work in a fast-paced, fluid environment and communicate business conditions and decisions effectively with stakeholders across multiple groups and levels – from warehouse associates to various Amazon Directors and VPs.

This role is a blend of short-term execution and long-term planning, that requires quick decision-making, with incomplete data, while also thinking big and influencing the strategic direction of the network.
The ideal candidates will have excellent analytical and statistical abilities, acumen and judgment, intense curiosity, strong technical skills, and written and verbal communication skills. They will have a strong bias toward driven decision-making. They will be a self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity, able to think and be creative (while paying careful attention to detail). They will enjoy working in a fast-paced dynamic environment. If you are excited about it, are results oriented, and want to join a growing analytics team within Amazon, this role is for you. Are you up for the challenge?
