Program Manager, EF Planning, External Fulfillment

We are seeking a Program Manager for the External Fulfillment (EF) Planning Team within Amazon Japan's Operations Division. EF handles order processing and shipping operations at fulfillment centers operated by 3PL (third party logistics) or vendors, rather than at Amazon Fulfillment Centers. These centers primarily handle large items, heavy items, and temperature-controlled products. EF team contributes to the company's growth by expanding this service, offering a wide product selection with remarkably fast delivery speeds, thereby enriching our customers' shopping experience.  This position will be responsible for managing network capacity based on medium demand forecasts and executing the launch of new logistics centers to support business growth.  For this position that will lead the expansion of the EF business, we welcome applications from individuals with diverse industry backgrounds and experiences. 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.  ====  アマゾンジャパンのオペレーションズ部門のEF（ External Fulfillment）プランニングチーム にて、プログラムマネージャーを募集いたします。  EFは、Amazonのお客様が注文された商品の注文処理・配送業務を自社の物流拠点（Amazon Fulfillment Center）ではなく、メーカー/卸売企業や協力会社の運営する物流拠点で行うセンターで、大型品や重量品、温度管理品などを中心に取り扱っています。EFチームは、そのサービスを成長させ、豊富な品揃えと圧倒的な配送スピードを実現し、お客様の購買体験をより豊かにすることで会社の成長に貢献しています。  本ポジションは、その役割を果たすべく、ビジネスの成長をサポートする新規物流センターの立上計画を実行することに責任を持ちます。  EFビジネスの拡大をリードいただける当ポジションでは、様々な業界や経験をお持ちの方からのご応募をお待ちしております。 Amazonでは、最新のAI Tool, 生成AIを日々の業務の中に積極的に取り入れています。 AI Toolは私たちの意思決定のスピードを加速させ、私たちを本当に重要な「判断」と「議論」に集中させることを可能にしています。Amazon では学習を継続する文化が根付いているため、ご自身のペースでAIに関する知識を深めることができるリソースが用意されています。 Key job responsibilities ■Planning and Execution of Mid and long-term Launch Plans for New EF Sites  Manage medium and long term demand forecasts and EF site capacity, while creating and executing launch plans for new EF sites to support business growth.
