Field Launch Manager

Description

We are looking for a Field Launch Manager (FLM) to lead store projects within Amazon Fresh Stores. As part of our Worldwide Grocery Stores organization, you will plan and execute on-the-ground store activities, ensuring standards of quality are met and tracked in accordance with budgets and timelines. In partnership with store operations, you will work cross functionally with a variety of stakeholders throughout these projects.

Your responsibilities include management of projects and specific deliverables, coordinating activities, training, standards adherence, and problem-solving issues while deep diving to improve store programs.

As a Field Launch Manager, you will travel in your supported market for site visits to meet critical milestones and readiness tasks. Although you will be assigned a market, you will need to be flexible in supporting other areas of North America based on business needs. Field Launch Managers are able to quickly respond and be onsite to manage escalations that may impact timelines. You will utilize a suite of dashboards to monitor, identify, and solve for concerns impacting the project.

Additionally, FLM’s look around corners, observe, and gather anecdotal feedback to drive projects. Field Launch Managers often operate autonomously with strong personal motivation.

You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. High judgment, ability to influence, organization, communication, and leadership skills are essential to success in this role.
