Sr.

Launch & Expansion Manager, EU DSP Expansion, Last MileDESCRIPTIONThe DSP team is building a world-class last mile operation capable of exceeding the expectations of our customers.

We ensure that customer orders, no matter how large or small, are delivered as quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively as possible by a network of entrepreneurial owned and operated small businesses, our Delivery Service Partners (DSP).

To enable the program to scale in a sustainable way, Amazon is seeking an exceptional Sr.

Launch & Expansion Manager who will be part of a start-up group with the charter to grow and scale the DSP program across multiple Modes of Transport (MoTs) by delivering cutting-edge expansion paths and capabilities for current and future last mile transportation initiatives.

Essentially the team's vision is to launch last mile delivery operating models that make Amazon the pioneers in the global logistics industry. This Sr.

Launch & Expansion Manager will be directly responsible for helping Amazon deliver launch and expansion plans for new last mile transportation initiatives which focus on attracting delivery partners.

The focus of this role will be to build an effective launch and risk mitigation plan that enables DSPs to expand Amazon's last mile operations globally to meet customer needs.

This is a fast-growing space with loads of complexity due to the unique challenges and services required to enable deliveries.

This individual will take over the DSP Product baton from our WW partner team who designs the initial offering and will own the end-to-end programme launch life-cycle, from research to product localization through the operation deployment on road; specifically, they will design comprehensive launch plans and mechanisms, drive risk assessments and remediation, and coordinate all launch work-streams which span across multiple functions and countries, as well as identify opportunities to continually enhance the program for Amazon customers and the entrepreneurs that own and operate small delivery businesses. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in the rapidly growing Amazon Logistics organization.

We are seeking an experienced leader with exceptional project and stakeholder management skills.

Any background in logistics, last mile, supply chain or with metrics and program management will be considered a plus. We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations: UK, IT, ES, FR, DE. Please note, this role may require travel across the EU and WW.
