Head of Production and Programming

Transforming Amazon's Largest Operations OrganizationAre you ready to be the leverage point that transforms how Amazon's largest operations organization runs? The ORBIT Program Management Office serves the VP offices across NA Last Mile (AMZL), and this role is unique: rather than owning one portfolio's outcomes, you'll own the how across all of them—building the mechanisms, standards, and automations that multiply impact across six portfolios. You'll convert automation delivery from one-off projects into a repeatable intake-to-delivery pipeline, reclaim hundreds of hours through AI-assisted workflows, and build tools that ship into production the next morning. This is a horizontal builder seat with leverage across Supply Chain and Last Mile Operations. You'll standardize the team's rhythm of business, own flash reporting and standard work libraries outright, and see the entire NA Last Mile operating rhythm in your first quarter—insight that usually takes years. Automation isn't a side project here; it's the mission, and you'll be accountable for a measurable share of the team's 60% manual-prep-reduction target.

Mid-morning brings a working session with a Business Intelligence Engineer to extend an auto-flagging rule so compliance gaps surface on their own. Afternoons balance fixed-cadence governance work with project work that permanently removes effort—auditing SOPs against current practice, scoping automations by measuring how long recurring document assembly actually takes, prototyping AI-assisted versions, and logging reclaimed hours.About the TeamORBIT Program Management Office serves as the program management backbone for VP offices across NA Last Mile (AMZL)—Supply Chain and Last Mile Operations.
