About The Position

Are you ready to shape the future of global logistics at Amazon scale? Join
Global Mile, where we're eliminating borders for buyers and sellers and driving
Amazon's expansion into a rapidly growing list of countries. We create new
logistics benchmarks through disruptive innovation — and we're looking for a
bold, analytical leader to help us do it.

The Global Ocean Operations team is seeking an Ocean Supply Chain Manager to own
ocean capacity planning for freight moving from global manufacturing hubs into
Amazon's international marketplaces. In this high-visibility role, you'll engage
directly with major ocean carriers, influence network topology decisions, and
drive operational excellence across a complex, fast-moving supply chain.

If you thrive in ambiguous environments, love diving deep into data, and want to
make a measurable global impact — this role is for you.

In this role, you'll start your day reviewing carrier performance dashboards and
demand signals, then align with procurement and network planning teams on
capacity decisions. You'll field escalations from operations partners, dig into
data to identify root causes, and present recommendations to senior leaders.
You'll collaborate with a multicultural, multilingual team spanning multiple
time zones — and no two days will look the same.

Global Mile is Amazon's team dedicated to building the international logistics
infrastructure that connects sellers and buyers across the world. We are a
multicultural, multilingual team working with vendors, sellers, shippers, and
logistics providers across global manufacturing hubs and Amazon's international
marketplaces. Our team culture values curiosity, ownership, and the drive to
invent on behalf of our customers.
