About The Position

The Worldwide Grocery Stores (WWGS) Sustainability team utilizes science-based approaches to lower Amazon's environmental impact across carbon, waste, water, biodiversity, and social responsibility. We're driving measurable decarbonization progress across our operations and supply chain, making meaningful impacts in the communities in which we operate. We're seeking an experienced Senior Program Manager to lead carbon reduction initiatives across our global grocery operations. This role will directly impact Amazon's path to Net Zero Carbon by 2040, driving tactical execution of decarbonization programs while building the measurement and mechanism infrastructure that enables data-driven decision-making, planning, and progress tracking. Working at the intersection of WWGS operations, supply chain, and central Worldwide Sustainability (WWS) stakeholders, you'll collaborate with senior leadership and working teams across organizations internally and externally to develop and scale programs that reduce carbon emissions across our retail operations, transportation networks, and global supply chains. You'll own the end-to-end carbon measurement, planning, and tracking systems for WWGS, delivering leadership updates and forecasted plans on carbon through 2040. You'll also drive supplier engagement with our network of 1000+ suppliers to drive tracking, goal setting, and action toward our decarbonization plans. You'll juggle multiple projects—from setting carbon intensity goals to evaluating new sustainability tools—while preparing stakeholder reports and partnering with senior leadership to drive Amazon's Net Zero 2040 commitments. This role is accountable for WWGS' contribution to at least one S-team goal. This role offers the unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on global sustainability practices. Your work directly shapes how millions of customers experience sustainable grocery shopping and drives measurable progress toward Amazon's climate commitments. This is a high-visibility and partnerships-driven role. A successful candidate must be able to work independently, be comfortable with ambiguity, and influence internal and external partners at all levels of the organization. The WWGS Sustainability team tackles climate, nature, waste, packaging, and social responsibility. We're a tight-knit, collaborative crew who genuinely support each other to hit ambitious goals. As a team, we're here to catalyze meaningful change in the food system, leveraging what makes Amazon Worldwide Grocery unique to create lasting positive impact for people and the planet through how we source, operate, and innovate. You'll work cross-functionally across the company because sustainability isn't just our job, it's everyone's opportunity to make an impact.
