Description

Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no lines and no checkout—you just grab and go! Customers simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take what they want from our selection of fresh, delicious meals and grocery essentials, and go! Designed and custom-built by Amazonians, our Just Walk Out Technology uses a variety of technologies including computer vision, sensor fusion, and advanced machine learning. Innovation is part of our DNA! We need people who want to join an ambitious program that continues to push the state of the art and impacts the daily lives of our customers.

At Amazon, our mission is to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need extraordinarily talented, bright, and driven people. We are looking for a dynamic, organized self-starter to join our Retail Program Management Team.

The Team: How often have you had an opportunity to be a member of a team creating a unique customer experience? You can expect all the challenges and benefits of a high-profile business: wide-open space for improvement and innovation, a strong team, and a fast-paced environment. These will require a willingness to dive into the details, solve problems as they arise, leverage high judgment and gut instinct, look around corners, and always obsess over customers. Everyone on the team wears different hats, and ownership of the customer experience is key.

The Role: You are someone who is willing to roll up your sleeves. The pay-off is high ownership, an ability to deliver results, an awesome variety in what we work on at any one time and the ability to grow in role. You love diving deep and using data to identify opportunities and guide improvements. You will interact closely with the operations team and identify/manage critical projects that create new customer experiences, improve productivity, increase capacity, and drive efficiency improvements. Overall, you will focus on operational innovation and excellence.

Note - Per Amazon’s return to office update, beginning January 2nd, 2025, employees will be expected to work 5 days a week out of the office.
