Here at Amazon we're currently seeking for experienced Operations Managers to join our Customer Fulfillment team at our Robotics Fulfillment Center in Kemps Creek.

This is an excellent opportunity to be part of the AU Fulfillment Center (FC) leadership team during its phase of expansion and growth, whereby you get to define the process flows and shape up standard work routines as the operations scale up.

As an Operations Manager, you’ll deliver inspiring, inclusive leadership for the teams you supervise. But at the same time, you don’t shy away from getting involved whenever necessary.

You’ll be directly responsible for supervising a team of Area Managers and their direct reports: meanwhile, you will report to the Site Lead of your Fulfillment Center. The quality of your leadership is key to achievement in this role: you’ll motivate and inspire your teams to do their best work, while planning schedules and activities that balance their needs with that of the business.

Another key aspect of your role will be to coordinate on numerous process improvement projects, with the aim of streamlining all activities, both for yourself and the team members you supervise. The ideas, innovation and leaps out of the status quo that you come up with could very well be rolled out across the Amazon network: this immense opportunity is yours for the taking.

Please note the shift pattern is set based on 4 days on and 3 days off, working at least one weekend day.

Key Job Responsibilities:
- Maintaining Health and Safety standards within your remit area, while promoting an inspiring Health and Safety culture on-site,
- Become a subject matter expert on specific, larger-scale processes and activities within FCs,
- In your inventory control and systems environment, you’ll handle timely data collection, updating operations metrics on an hourly basis,
- You’ll aim to achieve productivity targets, reduce cost per unit, eliminate errors and ensure a high-quality customer experience,
- Work closely with other support teams (HR, Finance, Facilities, Safety and Security, IT) on staffing plans, schedules and performance levels,
- Implement process change and contribute in cross-functional Six Sigma initiatives within your site and the broader Amazon Operations network.

Basic qualifications

- Proven leadership experience in a similar, innovative logistics, distribution, manufacturing or fast pace retail environment with multi-site/store management experience,
- Previous experience in leading large, diverse teams,
- Experience in employee and performance management experience,
- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written,
- Proven ability in establishing and carry out root cause analysis, and then extract and analyse the data you generate,
- Experience with performance metrics and process improvement and Lean techniques

Preferred qualifications

- Completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain/Logistics, or a related field,
- Experience that includes strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication abilities,
- Experience managing contingent workforce in a business with peak season,
- Knowledge of Lean, Kaizen, Six Sigma concepts.
