Program Manager, Ultra Fast Delivery, Launch and Expansion

At Amazon, you'll work alongside the latest AI and GenAI tools that are increasingly woven into how teams operate: from AI-powered capabilities that accelerate decision-making, to Generative AI that helps you focus on work that truly matters. You'll have opportunities and resources to develop AI fluency at your own pace, with continuous learning built into the culture. Amazon Logistics (AMZL) is responsible for Amazon’s last-mile delivery and operates a large-scale network across Japan by combining multiple types of delivery nodes. Through Delivery Stations (DS), Amazon Partners Logistics (AMPL), eXchange Point (XPT), and Sub Same-Day delivery station (SSD), we continuously challenge ourselves to deliver packages faster, more reliably, and at lower cost. JP Launch and Expansion (L&E) is the project management organization that turns the AMZL network strategy into reality. L&E owns the end-to-end execution—from upstream activities such as site selection, ROI modeling, and CAR approvals, through launch planning, hiring, system configuration, training, and go-live readiness. This team does not stop at planning or approvals; L&E makes decisions, drives execution on the ground, and builds Amazon Japan’s operations as real, operating sites. L&E is currently composed of the following teams: Core Planning and Execution (CPE) CPE manages the Core network across DS, XPT, and AMPL, covering new launches, closures, and XPT parent changes. The team leads end-to-end execution, including site selection, ROI design, CAR approvals, and start-up execution, while optimizing the network from a mid- to long-term perspective. — A team that designs, implements, and optimizes the Core network with a long-term view. SSD Planning and Execution (SPE) SPE owns SSD and AMZL+ projects from launch through closure. To support the growth of Same-Day Delivery, the team drives project execution that balances speed with repeatability and scalability. — A team that rapidly scales the Same-Day Delivery network, a key growth area. Retrofit, Expansion and Initiative (REI) REI leads end-to-end execution for new and emerging initiatives, with a primary focus on Quick Commerce (QC). Working closely with global teams, REI scales these initiatives in Japan and establishes sustainable standards, including new programs such as Amazon Storage Unit (ASU). — A team that turns concepts into viable, scalable businesses. Launch Configuration and Verification (LCV) LCV is responsible for system configuration and verification across all last-mile node types. With a strong focus on “Right First Time,” the team supports reliable start-ups with a target of zero DPMO at launch. — A team that ensures successful launches through robust system design and verification. Project Management Office (PMO) PMO operates horizontally across L&E, governing SOPs and playbooks, monitoring project progress, and managing PMIS to ensure execution discipline and visibility. — A team that raises execution quality across L&E through standardization and continuous improvement. L&E connects strategy, data, and on-the-ground execution to evolve Amazon’s last-mile network to the next stage. For those who want high ownership, real decision-making authority, and the opportunity to drive large-scale, complex projects, L&E offers an environment rich with challenge and growth. This Role: QC Launch Start-Up Execution Manager REI is responsible for the execution of new site launches driving the expansion of Amazon Japan's QC (Quick Commerce) network. The role involves managing multiple site launches in parallel, overseeing end-to-end operations from facility and equipment preparation, monitoring talent acquisition, and tracking system configuration progress through to Day 1 operational start. QC represents a new business domain for Amazon Japan, and the most exiting part lies in materializing strategy amid high uncertainty. In an environment where standards are not yet established, the role is
