In this role, you will be responsible to conceptualize innovative and disruptive solutions while working closely with operations, tech, finance, and deployment teams to implement customer experience improvements, sustainability initiatives, and cost-saving measures. As Fleet Program Manager you are responsible for the safety, compliance, availability, and cost of the Fleet in Japan, leveraging our Fleet Management and leasing companies as well as vendors, suppliers and manufacturers in the best way and setting up a long term vision strategy with them and our Japan business.
We are making significant long-term investments in building our Fulfillment and Transportation infrastructure in Japan and scaling our last-mile delivery capacity. As Program Manager, you will drive national expansion of strategic on-road programs and work with multiple teams within Supply Chain and Retail functions to deliver a World-Class Customer Experience while working on long term Net-Zero Carbon Initiatives. You will lead fleet projects for Amazon Logistics Last Mile Delivery, partnering with tech, BI, Operations, Program, and analytics teams to create a robust, sustainable and long-term carbon-free infrastructure. That involves conceptualizing, planning, executing, tracking, evaluating and presenting pilot results for different modes of transportation that will be potential enablers for all of our business lines in Japan, with partial focus on micro-mobility solutions.
The role offers extensive collaboration opportunities with internal teams including Delivery Station Operations, Sort Centers and Fulfillment Centers, Delivery Service Provider programs, Tech teams, World-Wide Tech and Fleet teams, and external partners such as OEM manufacturers and leasing companies. You will be responsible for driving programs, partnerships, innovations, and features while creating last-mile service and delivery process improvements and launching new market opportunities.
The ideal candidate is a self-starter with an background in product and/or program management, operations, and cross-functional leadership for large-scale strategic initiatives. You should possess strong analytical and business acumen, exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to influence without authority. Success in this role requires proficiency in managing complex logistics challenges, analyzing data, driving process improvements, and creating scalable solutions leveraging technology. Technical background will be of advantage.
You must be able to work independently in a high-speed environment, exercise sound judgment where clear guidelines may not exist, and demonstrate a bias for action and results. This exciting opportunity offers the chance to join a new team building a support function in a rapidly growing area within Amazon, while making a significant impact on our transportation and long term sustainability goals.
Previous success in program management, operations, or final mile transportation, along with experience in matrix organizations and strategic leadership, will be highly valued. The role demands someone who can take ownership of complex business challenges and drive strategy, execution, and successful delivery of results while maintaining our customer-backwards approach.
At Amazon, you'll work alongside the latest AI and GenAI tools that are increasingly woven into how teams operate: from AI-powered capabilities that accelerate decision-making, to Generative AI that helps you focus on work that truly matters. You'll have opportunities and resources to develop AI fluency at your own pace, with continuous learning built into the culture.

A day in the life
Your days will be dynamic and self-directed as you create solutions for our partners, drivers and internal stakeholders, transitioning to a larger, more efficient, productive, safer and sustainable vehicle pool. While you will manage regular metrics reporting and fixed mechanisms, most of your time will involve defining your own priorities; from negotiating with OEMs and manufacturers to designing new operational ideas to support the Japan business growth. You might spend one morning analyzing fleet performance data, followed by collaborating with internal teams on roadmap planning in the afternoon. Another day might involve visiting potential parking locations or testing new vehicle types with delivery partners in Okinawa or any other location in which Amazon operates. Each day presents unique opportunities to innovate for our growing business while long term you work toward Amazon's climate pledge goals.
