Join Amazon Transportation Services (ATS) Mexico as a Transportation Manager owning daily tactical execution across two high-growth transport programs: Amazon's trailer fleet, and Pickup by Carrier Program (for FTL/LTL seller deliveries). This role delivers direct impact on fleet utilization, cost-to-serve, carrier performance, and seller experience at scale. You will be the single point of contact for fleet operations (asset assignment, yard control, inspections, carrier coordination, incident response) and PCP transport execution (VRID creation, BOL validation, SLA monitoring, carrier scorecards, WBR/MBR narratives). You will work cross-functionally with First Mile, business team, Finance, and carrier partners to ensure operational excellence. This is a high-visibility role that combines hands-on execution with business review delivery to senior leadership.

A day in the life
Your morning starts at the yard — one glance tells you which trailers are ready, which are stuck, and where the day's risks are hiding. You act before small problems become expensive ones. When a breakdown hits, the clock starts and you own it: coordinate the fix, keep the sites moving, resolve it fast. The rest of your day, you turn messy operations into clear signals leaders trust to make decisions. Every trailer you unblock, every delay you catch, keeps packages moving to customers. You're the reason the network scales without breaking.
