Program Manager, Core Planning and Execution, Japan Launch and Expansion

About Amazon Japan Operations Amazon Japan Operations (JP Ops) is responsible for Amazon Japan’s end-to-end logistics and operations in Japan, operating a large-scale, highly integrated supply chain spanning from First Mile to Last Mile. Through Fulfillment Centers (FC), Sort Centers (SC), Delivery Stations (DS), and Sub Same-Day Delivery stations (SSD), we continuously challenge ourselves to deliver packages faster, more reliably, and at lower cost. About End-to-End Supply Chain & Speed Services End-to-End Supply Chain & Speed Services is the core organization within JP Ops that owns supply chain strategy as well as network design and execution. By integrating Supply Chain, Network Design/Planning, and Transportation Planning, the organization optimizes forecasting, planning, network flow, and execution in an end-to-end manner. It also leads speed-focused services such as Same-Day Delivery, Quick Commerce, freezer and perishable grocery, and micromobility, enabling rapid innovation at scale to continuously elevate customer experience. About JP Launch and Expansion (L&E) JP Launch and Expansion (L&E) is the project management organization under End-to-End Supply Chain & Speed Services that turns supply chain strategy into a real, operating network. L&E owns execution end-to-end—from upstream activities such as site selection, investment return analysis, and internal investment approvals, through launch planning, hiring, system configuration, training, and go-live readiness. L&E does not stop at planning or approvals. We make decisions, drive execution on the ground, and build Amazon Japan’s operations as real, operating sites. Spanning from First Mile to Last Mile, L&E plays a central role in driving Launch & Expansion across JP Ops. L&E is currently composed of the following teams: Core Planning and Execution (CPE) CPE manages the Last Mile Core network composed of DS, XPT, and AMPL, covering new launches, closures, and network configuration changes. The team leads end-to-end execution, including site selection, investment business case design, internal approvals, and start-up execution, while optimizing the network from a mid- to long-term perspective. — A team that designs, implements, and optimizes the Last Mile 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. Career Path What makes L&E unique is that we do not simply sit between strategy and execution—we own both. Few organizations within Amazon offer the opportunity to lead end-to-end, from upstream decisions such as network strategy and investment prioritization to on-the-ground execution and operational stabilization. In L&E, you are not confined to a
