A day in the life

Being a Carrier Operations Specialist for Amazon involves lots of problem solving. You’ll work with a number of teams to navigate challenges as and when situations impact our network. You’ll spend time resolving temporary issues and looking at the bigger picture to drive Amazon towards achieving new objectives. This role is both proactive and reactive, and you’ll have the opportunity to help defining and applying quality standards and plan for new projects.

As a Carrier Operations Specialist , you’ll need to help with both on-the-ground tasks and more tactical work. No two days will be the same. You could spend one day helping to investigate why a customer order did not arrive on time to destination and the next coaching and educating the transportation partner to our standards and industrial best practices. Having so much variety in your role means you’ll be able to learn something new every day.
