DESCRIPTION

At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth including how we fulfill and deliver customer orders. The goal of Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner (DSP) Management Team is to exceed the expectations of our customers by ensuring that their orders, no matter how large or small, are delivered as quickly, accurately, and cost effectively as possible.

We are seeking bar-raising candidates who are able to:
· Provide best in class support for DSPs as they transition from training to fully operational
· Partner with cross functional stakeholders to drive a culture of collaboration and performance
· Identify, develop and improve strategies for the DSP on-boarding and training process
· Provide reports to leaders of health of DSP progress
· Ensure DSPs are accurately compensated for services rendered
· Demonstrate an ability to coach partners through broad business understanding grounded in hands-on operations
The ideal candidate is customer obsessed, highly organized, works effectively with internal and external contacts and enjoys the challenges of working in a hands on fast-paced logistics environment. The successful candidate will have exceptional written and verbal communication skills, high attention to detail, and the ability to prioritize in an ambiguous and dynamic environment. Hands-on operational knowledge or experience is essential to perform the role successfully along with the ability to ‘think like an owner’.
