What are the responsibilities and job description for the Supply Chain Manager, Produce Distribution, Worldwide Grocery Stores (WWGS) Logistics position at Amazon?
Description
Amazon's Worldwide Grocery Stores (WWGS) Logistics team is looking for an experienced Supply Chain Manager to own the development of next-generation perishable distribution processes, specifically in produce. This role exists because a high % of shrink in Amazon's grocery business comes from produce — driven by case-pack minimums and multi-day dwell times which degrade quality. We aim to develop a cross-dock-first model with higher vendor delivery frequency and same-day ship to help improve our perishable supply chain. You will operate at the intersection of DC operations, supply chain design, food safety, and technology.
Key job responsibilities
Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.

If the country/region you’re applying in isn’t listed, please contact your Recruiting Partner.
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
