By continuing to provide millions of products to customers, Amazon has a high level of global recognition and has established a position as a leading global company. Furthermore, in order to continue to be “the company that values customers the most on the planet,” we are making improvements and reforms on a daily basis, and we are looking for experienced candidate who can contribute to these tasks.

The procurement department (procurement and purchasing department) is a department that is constructing new solutions that are not bound by conventional models in anticipation of future changes in the logistics industry and an increase in product types, and is a department that integrates with suppliers and technical departments to manage their costs and delivery dates.
