A day in the life
Being a Carrier Sourcing Specialist for Amazon involves lots of problem solving. You’ll work with a number of teams to navigate challenges as and when situations impact our network. You’ll spend time resolving temporary issues and looking at the bigger picture to drive Amazon towards achieving new objectives. This role is both proactive and reactive, and you’ll have the opportunity to help forecast and plan for new projects.

You’ll need to help with both on-the-ground tasks and more tactical work. No two days will be the same. Having so much variety in your role means you’ll be able to learn something new every day.
