At Amazon, we strive to be the most customer-centric company in the world. To achieve this, we work every day on tomorrow's issues and are constantly innovating. We need talented people who are passionate about operations, using their strong analytical, communication and long term thinking skills to drive change, build an organization, and lead our teams in the supply chain industry leader.

Would you like to be part of the Vendor Flex team?

Vendor Flex is an innovative program from Amazon that significantly accelerates the supply chain with our major vendors, while reducing costs and carbon footprint. We implement Amazon Fulfillment technology and processes directly at our vendors' warehouses to prepare customer orders, which are then shipped through our transportation network with next-day delivery capability. By avoiding deliveries to Amazon Fulfillment Centers and storage needs, the Vendor Flex program dramatically increases the responsiveness of our vendors.
Each Vendor Flex site works independently and, like a small warehouse, from receiving stock to shipping orders and inventory management, offers a global view of all the flows in a distribution center.

We are looking for a Cluster Manager based in Netherlands to play a key role in leading Vendor Flex operations in the Netherlands and Belgium managing a team of Vendor Flex Process Assistants based at our vendors' sites across the region.
