Operations Manager

Here at Amazon we are currently seeking for experienced Operations Managers to join our Leadership Fulfillment team at our site in Moorebank for night shift.

This is an excellent opportunity to be part of the AU Fulfillment Center (FC) leadership team during its phase of expansion and growth, whereby you get to define the process flows and shape up standard work routines as the operations scale up.

As an Operations Manager, you’ll deliver inspiring, inclusive leadership for the teams you supervise. But at the same time, you don’t shy away from getting involved whenever necessary.

You’ll be directly responsible for supervising a team of Area Managers and their direct reports: meanwhile, you will report to the Site Lead of your Fulfillment Center. The quality of your leadership is key to achievement in this role: you’ll motivate and inspire your teams to do their best work, while planning schedules and activities that balance their needs with that of the business.

Another key aspect of your role will be to coordinate on numerous process improvement projects, with the aim of streamlining all activities, both for yourself and the team members you supervise. The ideas, innovation and leaps out of the status quo that you come up with could very well be rolled out across the Amazon network: this immense opportunity is yours for the taking.

Please note the shift pattern is based on 4 nights on and 3 days off.
