Description

Amazon’s Global Real Estate and Facilities (GREF) team is looking for a creative, innovative, results-orientated Program Manager based in Seattle, WA or Arlington, VA. The role will envision, build and deliver a Global Commute program that offers a daily, flexible and dynamic suite of options that provide frictionless, convenient and reliable access to the workplace for Amazonians, whilst aligning to The Climate Pledge, Amazon’s commitment to reach net-zero carbon by 2040.

GREF’s Commute program sets a vision where Amazon commute journeys are made by active, sustainable and shared transport, when possible. Reaching this goal will require policy change, frictionless alternatives, investment and wide-scale change management to shift behaviors to more sustainable commute methods. The global program establishes decision frameworks, playbooks, measurement pathways and tools to deliver a globally consistent customer experience.

The optimal candidate is an experienced, vibrant, and engaging professional who will excel within an entrepreneurial culture – providing vision, leadership, and communication – not afraid to dive deep into details. They should also understand the nuance of being approachable, while at the same time consultative – providing direction/recommendations to our regional teams and fostering transparent relationships. The candidate must be able to balance frugality with creativity in offering solutions and approach problem-solving with an emphasis on root cause.

This role requires global travel approximately 5-10% of the time.
