DESCRIPTION:
Imagine designing the logistics network that will define Amazon Japan's next chapter of growth.
We are looking for a Senior Program Manager to join the External Fulfillment (EF) Planning Team within Amazon Japan's Operations Division - a team that sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, and innovation.
What is EF?
External Fulfillment operates fulfillment centers run by 3PL partners and vendors - not Amazon's own FCs. These sites specialize in large, heavy, and temperature-sensitive products that demand unique logistics solutions. By scaling this network, the EF team unlocks product selection that customers never thought they could get delivered fast - and delivers it at speeds that redefine expectations.
What you'll own:
You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of EF sites - launching new logistics centers and managing them as a business after go-live. This isn't project management that ends at launch; you build it, then you run it.
Why this role is special:
Few positions offer this vantage point. You'll see the entire business landscape - from site development to operational readiness to ongoing performance - and translate that view into action. You'll architect logistics centers with capabilities that don't exist yet, enabling Amazon to enter new product categories and business models. If you want to leave a visible, lasting mark on how millions of customers receive their orders, this is the role.
We welcome bold thinkers from diverse industries. Whether your background is in logistics, consulting, manufacturing, or something entirely different - if you thrive on complexity and want to build at scale, we want to hear from you.
At Amazon, you'll work alongside the latest AI and GenAI tools that are increasingly woven into how teams operate: from AI-powered capabilities that accelerate decision-making, to Generative AI that helps you focus on work that truly matters. You'll have opportunities and resources to develop AI fluency at your own pace, with continuous learning built into the culture.

Key job responsibilities
â Lead the Launch of New EF Sites:
Own the end-to-end launch process for new EF logistics centers. Coordinate with Supply Chain, Retail, Real Estate, and 3PL partners to drive site readiness - from vendor selection and contract negotiation through operational go-live. Manage timelines, resolve cross-functional blockers, and ensure each site launches on schedule and meets quality standards.
â Drive Post-Launch Business Management:
Once a site is operational, own its business performance. Manage P&L, lead QBRs with 3PL partners, identify and execute cost optimization initiatives, and monitor operational KPIs to ensure sustained performance. Proactively address issues before they impact customer experience or cost targets.
â Propose and Implement Logistics Network Solutions:
Identify logistics challenges that could constrain business growth. Propose concrete solutions - whether reconfiguring the network, launching specialized centers for new product categories, or improving existing site capabilities. Collaborate cross-functionally to turn proposals into reality at speed.
â Participate in Network Capacity Planning:
Engage with demand forecasting and capacity planning processes to understand the broader network context. Leverage this understanding to inform launch timing, site sizing, and investment decisions.
