Area Manager

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.

A day in the life

You’ll work shifts and be based at one of our operational sites. Your main focus will be to maintain safety standards within your team and across your site.
