Customer Fulfilment, or CF, is where it all started for Amazon.

CF has scaled up from a humble team of booksellers to a sophisticated global team which handles more than 1.5 million orders every day.

We help to manage dynamic inventory and facilitate speedy deliveries round the clock.

Lots of different people work in our Fulfilment Centres, so there are plenty of opportunities for every skillset.

Some of us work with physical products, while others analyse data to help everyone across the business make smart decisions.
