Are you a strategic relationship builder who thrives on helping businesses grow? Amazon is looking for an Senior Manager to own and drive complex last mile relationships, define strategies that create shared value, and deliver tailored recommendations that improve the cost and experience for both our partners and their customers. In this role, you will manage high-impact initiatives, influence cross-functional priorities, and set the standard for management best practices. You will work with senior leaders internally and externally, balancing short-term needs with long-term vision while identifying new opportunities that scale beyond your own portfolio. If you are a data-driven problem solver who enjoys navigating ambiguity and building lasting partnerships, we want to hear from you.
Key job responsibilities
Define last mile delivery strategies and priorities aligned with senior leadership, delivering tailored recommendations that improve cost, partner and customer experiences across your portfolio.
Manage complex, cross-organizational account initiatives by identifying gaps between teams, processes, and plans — then driving clarity and resolution to keep projects on track.
Analyze business metrics and economic trends to uncover growth opportunities, making smart trade-offs between short-term account needs and long-term strategic goals.
Drive enhancements to standard operating procedures and playbooks, contributing to cadenced reporting and narratives that you present effectively to Directors and senior stakeholders.
Mentor and develop fellow account managers through constructive feedback, peer assessments, and sharing best practices that raise the bar for the broader team.
A day in the life
Your morning might start with a deep dive into account performance data, preparing insights for an upcoming business review with a senior partner. By midday, you are collaborating with cross-functional teams to remove a blocker that affects multiple accounts, then presenting your quarterly narrative to leadership. Afternoons often involve coaching a newer account manager through a complex situation or working with partner teams to streamline a process. You will regularly balance strategic planning with hands-on problem solving, ensuring your accounts and the broader organization are set up for success.
