About the team

As part of Amazon Customer Excellence Systems (ACES) team, we work to continually improve the Amazon Logistics experience. We look after high-impact initiatives and help to develop, roll out and look after a range of logistics-focused projects. Recent examples include launching and expanding micro-mobility delivery (via e-cargo bike or on foot) across Europe, and electric vehicle delivery. Using data-driven tools, we’re able to see how we can make processes better and more efficient, or how we can reduce waste across the business.

Our team supports field operations to launch new programmes and technology-based solutions across Europe, helping them meet customer demand and drive customer-focused innovation. We’re also responsible for raising the bar for our learning teams and making the on-boarding experience for Associates, Delivery Partners and Managers as engaging as possible.

There are lots of different opportunities within the ACES team, so we welcome people with a broad range of skill-sets. We work across a network of 200+ delivery stations to make sure everything from on-boarding to delivery methods are as effective as possible. At its core, we work to make Amazon a safe, enjoyable place for our people and ensure on-time deliveries, always.
