Senior Program Manager, Variable Fleet, Global Fleet and Products

Description

Do you want to be part of a team driving innovation, operational excellence, and efficiency across Amazon's Last Mile fleet? Amazon's Fleet Planning and Capacity (FPAC) organization is seeking a motivated Senior Program Manager to join the Variable Fleet team. This team plays a critical role in ensuring Amazon's delivery network has the right vehicles, in the right locations, at the right time to support year-round operations and High Volume Events (HVE), including Prime and Peak, across North and South America.

As a Senior Program Manager on the Variable Fleet team, you will lead complex, high-impact programs focused on fleet capacity planning, rental supply strategy, operational execution, cost optimization, and Delivery Service Partner (DSP) experience. You will work closely with internal stakeholders and external rental providers to develop scalable solutions that balance fleet supply and demand, improve vehicle utilization, and support Amazon's growing delivery network.

This role requires a strategic thinker who is equally comfortable diving deep into data, navigating ambiguity, solving complex operational challenges, and driving execution in a fast-paced environment. You will collaborate across Fleet Planning, Finance, Product, Technology, Procurement, Legal, and Operations to identify opportunities, influence decisions, and deliver measurable business results. The ideal candidate brings strong analytical skills, program management expertise, commercial and operational acumen, and the ability to lead cross-functional initiatives from strategy through execution.

You will have the opportunity to shape the future of Amazon's Variable Fleet programs, drive innovation, improve operational efficiency, and develop sustainable solutions that support both long-term fleet strategy and critical High Volume Event readiness.

Key job responsibilities

Lead strategic, cross-functional programs supporting Variable Fleet capacity planning, rental operations, and High Volume Event readiness across Amazon's North and South American Last Mile network.

Develop and execute scalable strategies to optimize fleet supply, utilization, cost efficiency, and operational performance.

Partner with internal teams and external rental providers to identify capacity opportunities, address supply constraints, and improve execution.

Analyze complex data, identify trends and risks, and develop actionable recommendations to support business decisions.

Drive continuous improvement and automation opportunities to simplify processes, reduce manual effort, and improve operational efficiency.

Own program performance, establish key metrics, and communicate progress, risks, and recommendations to senior leadership.

Improve the end-to-end Delivery Service Partner experience through stronger provider accountability, operational processes, and issue resolution.

Lead cross-functional initiatives through ambiguity, balancing short-term operational needs with long-term strategic priorities.

A day in the life

No two days are the same on the Variable Fleet team. You will operate at the intersection of strategy, planning, and execution, working across teams to solve complex fleet challenges and ensure Amazon's delivery network has the capacity needed to meet customer demand.

On any given day, you may be analyzing fleet supply and demand trends, developing strategies to optimize rental capacity and costs, collaborating with external providers, or working with cross-functional partners to solve operational challenges. During High Volume Events such as Prime and Peak, you will play a critical role in identifying fleet risks, developing solutions, and driving timely execution to support delivery operations.

You will regularly engage with senior leaders, influence business decisions through data-driven recommendations, and lead initiatives that improve efficiency, scalability, and the Delivery Service Partner experience. This is a fast-paced, highly collaborative role that offers the opportunity to think strategically, dive deep into the details, and make a direct impact on Amazon's Last Mile delivery network.
