Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

Description

The vision of the WW Benchmarking is to enable every operation in the world to realize Best-At-Amazon performance levels. The foundational step in Benchmarking is to define accurately-aggressive performance targets for every process in every operation. These targets define efficiency goals for operations to achieve and are the base of Operational Plans (OP) for all participating networks, so they are formally defined as the productivity expectation for hundreds of Amazon sites worldwide. This formal definition of targets creates a pull for the rest of the elements in the program: Metrics, Tools, Content, Training, and Governance.

The NA Senior Program Manager is the owner for the Benchmarking Program in site types such as ARS, TNS, TSSL, and IXD. This program entails the setting of performance targets as well as leading the collection of best practices from best in class (BIC) sites, and implementation of governance mechanisms to ensure implementation of these BIC standards/best practices. From an analytical side, the Senior Program Manager will define and execute the analytical processes required to produce the targets all networks rely on. The candidate will manage an analytically-based initiative, notably coordinating technical and operational headcount. This role will require the Senior Program Manager to work with multiple organizations, and to prioritize a large number of requests.

Key job responsibilities

Target Setting: You will own the creation of accurate clusters of comparable sites for the region, identify statistically significant exceptions to apply to targets, and align VP level leadership for approval. This process will be completed for two critical inspection points, annually, within the region. You will be measured off of execution to project timelines, improvement in customer SLA’s, and reduction YoY in time spent on exception cases.

Best Practices: As part of the global "Best at Amazon" program, you will be the single threaded leader of the program for intake, approval, implementation and quantification of best practices. The expectation is that you can build a framework for executing the program in the region with relevant support teams. This would be done across people, safety, cost, environment, quality, and DEA. The measurement of success is based off dwell time of requests, conversion rate of best practices submitted, and savings or bps improvement following implementation.

Governance: The expectation is that you take part in the regional governance mechanism for validating adherence to BIC standard work.

Travel: The role will require 25% travel.
