This is a position where you can advance your career even if you have no experience in logistics. Many people who have worked in completely different industries such as apparel, food and beverage, retail, sales, amusement, and call centers in their previous jobs are active. Let's create a new Amazon history together!

The now commonplace "express delivery", "specified delivery date and time delivery", and "same-day delivery" are delivery services originating in Japan that were realized in pursuit of customer convenience. The system of the logistics base and fulfillment center (hereinafter referred to as FC), which is the heart of Amazon, makes this service possible. FC is a business that continues to challenge further optimization by introducing the latest in-house technology, and since opening in Japan in 2005, it has grown to more than 25 locations. As our business continues to expand this year, we are looking for "area managers" who are passionate colleagues who can think from the customer's perspective with us and send out further innovations, including training team members, and colleagues who can contribute to creating a harmonious environment in life work.

Job Description■

The "Area Manager" will utilize his / her experience and skills, including those in other industries and occupations, to seek areas for improvement, and will lead various projects and manage people with advanced technology and a "People First" mindset.

In addition, he / she will properly grasp and manage the attendance and working hours of subordinates.

Improvement of safety, quality, and work efficiency of assigned processes

Each manager will be in charge of a specific process and lead the improvement of safety, quality, and work efficiency of that process.

In order to ensure that we meet the delivery deadlines we promise to customers in daily operations, you will be required to make appropriate judgments and respond to variable factors such as ups and downs in volume, sudden labor shortages, and system problems.

Promoting improvements as a project leader

Amazon promotes improvements every day. In parallel with their regular duties, area managers will promote annual / monthly project activities within the FC as project leaders to improve safety risks and productivity. These projects also include collaboration with related departments and participation as executive committee members in FC events such as Family Day (a gathering to invite employees' families to the FC).
