A day in the life
Being a Ground Services SCM for Amazon Air involves lots of problem solving. You'll work with a number of teams to navigate challenges as and when situations impact the Air network. You'll spend time resolving both operational and commercial issues, while also looking at the bigger picture to drive Amazon towards achieving new objectives. This role is both proactive and reactive, and you'll have the opportunity to help forecast and plan for new projects.
As a Ground Services SCM, you'll need to help with both on-the-ground tasks and more tactical work. No two days will be the same. You could spend one day helping to define our gateway process and operating models and the next assisting with the launch plan for a new Air gateway. Having so much variety in your role means you'll be able to learn something new every day.
This role is based in our European headquarters in Luxembourg.
