About The Position

At Amazon, we're working to be the world's most customer-centric company. To get
there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people.

Amazon Global Air (AIR)'s Airport Affairs team is looking for a leader who is
innovative, passionate, and results driven to lead oversight of a growing
regional portfolio of airports. The airport ecosystem is complex, and a
successful candidate will have solid relationship management and communications
skills, a strong working knowledge of the unique airport development and
regulatory environment, contract and real estate experience, as well as complex
negotiation skills.

As the Sr. Regional Manager, you'll be Amazon's singular voice with airport
leadership, responsible for coordinating multi-disciplinary internal stakeholder
groups to ensure Amazon has the required airport infrastructure and support
needed to deliver for our customers. As AIR's representative and a subject
matter expert, you will coordinate with a wide range of teams at Amazon,
including Real Estate, Legal, Aviation Security (AvSec), Gateway Operations, and
Finance. This role will be instrumental in solving some of AIR's biggest
challenges in a space that's fast, diverse, and unpredictable.

As a Senior Regional Manager for Amazon Air, you'll navigate the complex world
of airport partnerships and operations. You may meet with airport executives to
discuss expansion, partner with Real Estate and Legal on negotiations, or work
with Gateway Operations to resolve challenges. Acting as the bridge between
airport leadership and internal teams—including Real Estate, Legal, Aviation
Security, Gateway Operations, and Finance—you’ll drive alignment on priorities
and timelines. You’ll also assess regulatory frameworks, monitor development
trends, and identify opportunities to strengthen the network while balancing
long-term strategy with immediate operational needs.

As part of the Airport Affairs team, you're joining an organization with decades
of airport development, aviation, and cargo experience that's critical to the
continued growth and optimization of Amazon Air's business. You'll be surrounded
by a diverse group of aviation professionals all working towards creating value
for our customers.
