Program Manager, Core Planning and Execution, Launch and Expansion

Amazon Logistics (AMZL) is responsible for Amazons 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 executionfrom 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 Japans 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 immature 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 Amazons 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.
Career Path
Through large-scale network-level projects L&E provides exposure to project management leadership operations engineering finance and real estate. Team members work closely with strategy teams and regularly engage in data-driven decision-making and improvement initiatives. As a result you can grow into a project manager with a network-wide perspective not limited to a single site or function.
