Supply Chain Manager, Produce Distribution, Worldwide Grocery Stores (WWGS) Logistics
About the role
Amazon's Worldwide Grocery Stores (WWGS) Logistics team is looking for an experienced Supply Chain Manager to own the development of next-generation perishable distribution processes, specifically in produce. This role exists because a high % of shrink in Amazon's grocery business comes from produce — driven by case-pack minimums and multi-day dwell times which degrade quality. We aim to develop a cross-dock-first model with higher vendor delivery frequency and same-day ship to help improve our perishable supply chain. You will operate at the intersection of DC operations, supply chain design, food safety, and technology.
Responsibilities
- Define how produce flows through our network with minimal quality degradation and maximum speed.
- Define each-break processes in a cross dock model end-to-end (receiving through sortation to outbound), partnering with Whole Foods Market and Food Safety teams on handling standards, organic labeling compliance, and cold chain requirements.
- Identify and introduce new equipment to the network — packaging materials, tote types, holding mechanisms — that enable produce eaches without quality degradation.
- Partner with tech to implement associate-facing tooling (pick instructions, sort logic, container assignments).
- Inform the longer-term DC cross-dock strategy: defining what a produce cross-dock model looks like operationally, what changes to vendor delivery frequency and DC throughput design, and how it integrates with network design.
- Work with Retail, Finance, and Operations partners to define supply chain, network design, and operating models for the produce distribution network of the future.
- Develop repeatable SOPs and training materials that scale across sites.
- Work cross functionally with in stock, category, and operations partners to test new distribution processes.
Basic Qualifications
- 3+ years of program or project management experience
- 3+ years of supply chain experience
- Experience working cross functionally with tech and non-tech teams

- Experience implementing repeatable processes and driving automation or standardization
Preferred Qualifications
- 3+ years of driving end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership experience
- 3+ years of driving process improvements experience
- Experience in stakeholder management, dealing with multiple stakeholders at varied levels of the organization
- Experience building processes, project management, and schedules
- Master's degree in supply chain management, operations, engineering, analytics or related field
