Our focus on the customer and innovation drives the growth of Amazon, offering our customers more types of products, more conveniently, and at even lower prices.
We are seeking someone to join the Global Road Safety Team as a Senior Program Manager, Road Safety Standards. This role will focus on the development and review of standards, policies, and procedures related to road transportation safety that impact Last and Middle Mile operations globally. As Amazon continues to innovate, our policy documents must evolve with the speed of business to maintain the highest safety standards that impact transporters, our customers, and the communities we serve.
Standards and procedure creation will be informed by regulatory requirements, consensus standards, and assessments from subject matter experts with transportation operational experience.

• Develop and provide guidance to site and business specific stakeholders for safety standard compliance.
• Work with various stakeholders and partners to develop programs effectively and provide implementation support.
• Analyze safety metrics and review incident weekly and monthly incident trends to discover trends to rationalize the allocation of appropriate resources to areas where the safety risk is highest.
• Validate risk assessments and safety audits to identify non-compliance equipment and/or processes involving transportation operations. Implement solutions through standard and procedural creation that mitigate exposure to these risks and prevent loss of life.
• Conduct audits for compliance with over the road and in yard safety policies and procedures

• Provide guidance on training programs and other educational platforms, while developing the Amazonian safety culture, in identifying ways to improve vehicle safety.
Key job responsibilities
This role requires safety gap identification, timeline management, communicating risk to senior management, and large-scale scoping. Cross-team coordination, project management, executive presentation skills, a penchant for process improvement, and a proven history of delivering results are essential for success. A bias for action and comfort in dealing with ambiguity are a must. Often times it will not be clear how we will reach our end goal; you will be expected to help carve a path by taking risks and be willing to try new things, fail fast then iterate. Strong analytics and safety experience will be valued in an applicant.
