About the role
This position requires in-role training at an operating site which will be 6+ weeks in duration, located 50+ miles away from the home site location, with all travel accommodations booked and paid for by Amazon. Amazon’s Worldwide Operations network delivers millions of packages and smiles to customers daily. We seek motivated, customer‑focused individuals to join as an Operations Manager.

Our operations workflow consists of three major components: First mile (product housed and ready for order), Middle mile (order hauled to your area), and Last mile (product delivered to the customer’s door). While workflows have slight building variations, our vision and dedication to the customer remain constant. Rapid and Rural Logistics (R2L) is an exciting Amazon organization specializing in delighting customers with speed to get items to their doorsteps, combining operations and support teams to innovate the last‑mile customer experience.
