Our logistics teams are changing the way we interact with customers around the globe every single day and solving some of the biggest logistical challenges facing not just Amazon, but also the entire industry.
Amazon's transportation teams work to ensure the delivery of packages for customers around the world. On its busiest day, Cyber Monday, Amazon customers around the world have ordered more than 400 items per second and the transportation teams play a critical role ensuring packages make it to customers' doors on-time and in great condition. Whether it is an item large or small, we find solutions to make sure we are delivering on our promise for customers.
Our Shift Managers are responsible for the management and supervision of a team of associates and their day-to-day activities in an Amazon Delivery Station (24/7 last-mile carrier site) which includes inbound, outbound and sortation operations.
