Program Manager II, ROADS

Come build the version of reverse logistics that doesn't need us. Every day, Amazon Shipping customers hand us packages and Counters stores hand us returns. Every one of those pickups is a promise. When that promise is at risk Reverse Logistics and Driver Support (ROADS) is the team that catches it. We're good at catching. We need a Sr. Program Manager to help us build for the day we don't have to.

ROADS is the centralized layer that protects reverse logistics performance across Ship with Amazon (SWA) and Counters Returns. We own real-time intervention, resolve escalations end to end, and — this is the part that matters — we build the mechanisms that make those interventions unnecessary.

In this role you will:
• Own outcomes, not status decks.
• Launch, not inherit.
• Automate what you touch.
• Have real cross-functional influence.
