This role focuses on those who have military experience interested in working in the private sector. Amazon's military recruiting team is available to discuss the many opportunities within Amazon Operations.

At Amazon, thousands of ex-military are driving innovation and raising the bar on customer experience.

On a daily basis, those with military backgrounds are able to apply their knowledge, skills, and leadership abilities in a wide variety of careers – influencing change across the globe.


When you join Amazon as an Area/Shift Manager, you'll gain experience leading a large and diverse team to make sure your area of the business keeps pace with demand.

In this hands-on role, you'll learn about the complexity of operations at a global business and what it takes to make everything run seamlessly.

While you implement your team's approach to drive productivity, you'll also work closely with your colleagues to address challenges, which means no two days will be the same.

Key job responsibilities

  • Promote a culture of safety and wellbeing
  • Analyse and implement corrective actions to make sure quality and productivity are at consistently high levels, and business objectives are met across all shifts

A day in the life

Your days will always include prioritising routine team management and daily operational tasks, alongside other tasks like individual escalations, process improvement work and wide-scale operational contingency planning.


Being a key part of the operations team involves working with colleagues in other teams and external partners to make sure we stay on track to meet our customer demands and targets.

This will involve analysing data and performance metrics with leaders in your business area, as well as discussing the operational pros and cons of technical improvements with engineers.

  • Amazon couldn't deliver at pace without the Amazon Transportation Service (ATS) team. Using air, sea and road transport, as well as sortation centres equipped with the latest technology, you'll help Amazon's transport run at maximum efficiency.
