Description
Amazon Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) mission is to provide tools, resources, and environments that support safe, efficient, and healthy behaviors and encourage employees to proactively manage their health and well being. To support this focus area, Amazon is seeking a leader to serve as our Program Manager for Worldwide WHS to build programs that create a safe workplace and build a world-class safety culture. In this role, you will dive deep into operations processes; identify risks through data and first-hand experience; build programs and improve processes to eliminate risks; and influence operations to sustain a culture of safety. This role will focus on leading large, strategic projects within Amazon Business Units (BU) and across different geographies - the role will also look for ways to replicate these BU-specific solutions to other BU, and find commonalities to support scale and speed.
The Program manager role will challenge you to push boundaries and lead transformative innovation while having the autonomy to make rapid data-driven decisions and invent on behalf of Operators (leaders) and Associates. In this role, you will work cross-functionally with members from various teams, including Operations; Amazon Fulfillment Technologies (AFT); Amazon Robotics (AR); Inbound Supply Chain; Launch; Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP); Capacity Planning; Finance and others to deploy solutions at scale.
This position requires travel up to approximately 25%, when needed (and with appropriate health and safety conditions).
Key job responsibilities
Manage complex program life-cycles that span multiple business units, delivering projects that achieve meaningful safety improvement metrics across fulfillment centers.
Define and scope safety improvement initiatives, set clear objectives, analyze data, and drive improvements quantified with specific metrics.
Collaborate with stakeholders across multiple business units to identify safety risks and develop innovative solutions to engineer these risks out of our fulfillment centers.
Apply relevant tools and mechanisms to track progress, communicate status to stakeholders, and escalate issues when required to maintain project timelines.
Anticipate potential blockers by looking around corners, develop mitigation strategies, and balance simultaneous tasks to ensure consistent project delivery.
A day in the life
Your typical day involves balancing short-term site-level program delivery with long-term business-wide change initiatives. You'll start by reviewing safety metrics across fulfillment centers, identifying trends that require attention. Throughout the day, you'll coordinate with stakeholders across business units, influence them to meet their delivery commitments, and work to accomplish necessary tasks that move your safety programs forward. You'll analyze data to track progress against safety improvement metrics and adjust plans as needed to keep projects on track.
