This role leads inbound and middle-mile transportation network design for Amazon Japan, improving topology, capacity, cost, speed, and resilience. Candidates are expected to bring substantial supply-chain, transportation, or network-planning experience, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage complex projects across multiple teams. Experience with forecasting, optimization, operational metrics, and data analysis is valuable, along with excellent communication in Japanese and English. Amazon will expect the successful candidate to influence senior stakeholders, build scalable processes, make data-driven decisions, and deliver measurable improvements in customer experience and operational efficiency.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company known for online retail, cloud computing through Amazon Web Services, digital entertainment, advertising, and logistics services. In Japan, it operates large fulfillment centers, delivery networks, technology teams, corporate functions, and customer-service operations. The company places strong emphasis on customer obsession, operational excellence, innovation, ownership, and decisions supported by data. Supply-chain professionals work in a fast-paced environment where they may design transportation networks, improve fulfillment performance, manage capacity, and coordinate with retail, logistics, technology, and external carrier partners. Amazon offers opportunities to work on large-scale systems serving millions of customers, but the culture is demanding and performance-oriented, with frequent cross-functional collaboration and high expectations for measurable results.
Japan offers strong opportunities in technology, e-commerce, logistics, manufacturing, finance, tourism, and international business, especially around Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. Workplace culture values punctuality, teamwork, preparation, respect, and reliability, although multinational companies often use more flexible management styles. Daily life is safe, efficient, and convenient, with excellent public transport, healthcare, food, and cultural attractions. Housing and commuting costs are highest in Tokyo; regional cities can offer a more relaxed and affordable lifestyle. Foreign professionals generally need an appropriate work visa, commonly the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services status, sponsored by an employer. Senior managers should prepare degree and employment records, arrange housing and tax procedures, and consider language support. Japanese ability is not always essential at global firms, but it significantly improves workplace communication and everyday integration.
