Job Description:

At Amazon, we're working to be the most Customer-centric company on earth. The goal of Amazon's Delivery Service Partner (DSP) Management Team is to exceed the expectations of our customers by ensuring that their orders, no matter how large or small, are delivered as quickly, accurately, and cost effectively as possible. To meet this goal, Amazon is continually striving to innovate and provide best in class delivery experience through the introduction of pioneering new products and services in the last mile delivery space. We are looking for a dynamic, organized self-starter to join as a Sr. Product for our Amazon Last Mile team.

The Sr. Product Manager, Driver Development, will be responsible for ensuring drivers are set up to succeed. Drivers should have clear understanding for the demands of the role, be trained to handle difficult and unexpected situations, and gain valuable experience on developmental routes prior to becoming a fully independent driver.

By improving driver onboarding experience, you will measurably improve driver retention and engagement.

Successful candidates should have a passion for improving the experience and engagement for our tens of thousands of hard-working drivers, relentlessly advocate on their behalf, and strive to deliver the best driver experience possible. They will have experience in cross-functional stakeholder management, connecting with the right groups, and organizing multi-faceted answers to difficult questions. You must be able to balance multiple competing priorities and operate in a fast-paced organization.

Core Components of the role include:

• Develop effective measures for assessing the driver learning curve to assess how effectively we are preparing drivers
• Deeply understand the challenges of the driver role in order to ensure all drivers are prepared to deliver independently
• Build collaborative, influential internal and external relationships with Product, Program, and Field teams and to develop action plans to improve the driver experience across all driver populations
• Utilize analytic tools and listening mechanisms to effectively measure gaps in the driver ramp and extract new insights that drive improvements
• Develop recurring communications for business leaders and key stakeholders on core programs and opportunities
• Bachelor's degree
• Experience prioritizing projects and leading initiatives from conception to launch in a rapidly evolving environment
• Proficiency in Excel, SQL
• MBA or Masters degree
• Passion for building positive, engaged work environments
• Successful record of creating, improving and executing programs at scale, ability to drive and measure program effectiveness and high levels of customer satisfaction
• Ability to convey ideas and recommendations in a clear, compelling and succinct way in written and verbal communications; can facilitate action and commitment across stakeholders and peers
• Strong team, interpersonal and persuasion skills, enabling individuals to establish influential partnerships working with peers, senior leaders and across organizational lines
