Are you energized by solving complex problems at the intersection of strategy and execution? Amazon's Sub-Same Day (SSD) program is rapidly scaling to meet growing customer expectations for ultra-fast delivery. As the team invests in expanding selection and reach, this is a pivotal moment to shape how millions of customers experience speed.

A day in the life
You will split your time between strategic planning and hands-on program execution. Mornings might involve reviewing metrics dashboards and preparing narratives for leadership reviews, while afternoons are spent in working sessions with partner teams to unblock dependencies or refine selection expansion plans. You will regularly facilitate alignment discussions across functions, synthesize competing priorities into clear recommendations, and course-correct when data signals a shift is needed.
