Key job responsibilities

About the role:
We are looking for exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people to join our Operations Teams to complete the Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship (CMDA) at one of our warehouses in England. As a degree apprentice, you will join Amazon in a supervisory role, where you will oversee the management of one or more processes across our operation, leading a small team of up to 20 on your shift.
In this role you will be driving the pulse of our operations on the ground and playing a key role in getting our customers’ orders out to them in every step of our fast moving and dynamic process. This is a varied, challenging role and every day is different!

About the apprenticeship:
As an apprentice you will dedicate 20% of your working time to your apprenticeship studies, attending seminars, writing assignments, and completing other ‘off-the-job’ learning activities. The remaining 80% of your time will be spent ‘on-the-job’ as a supervisor. Apprentices work closely with site management teams to ensure that the assigned department is performing in line with the plan and that customer expectations are met, if not exceeded.
We have designed two different paths depending on your previous experience:
If you have less than 2 years of experience in a full time supervisory role, you will join a three-and-a-half-year programme delivered by Exeter University.
If you have more than 2 years of experience working full time on a supervisory role, you will join a 3 years programme delivered by Manchester Metropolitan University.
Participants will develop their skills in the workplace, supported by an Amazon mentor and a University Skills Coach who will help support to effectively embed learning alongside managerial practice. The programme will leave graduates with the experience and competences necessary to take successful long-term managerial responsibility for people, projects, operations, and services within the business.
Units in the ODM apprenticeship cover self-awareness, building relationships and communication skills, leadership, and operational and financial management. Apprentices will be encouraged to demonstrate how they can apply these skills in the workplace. In year two, apprentices will complete a project management unit with the opportunity to take on part of or an entire workplace project. Upon successful completion of the ODM apprenticeship, you will commence the CMDA programme. Modules include sales and marketing, business finance and will culminate in an organisational research project. Apprentices will reconcile their learning at the end of the final year through the creation of a business portfolio, demonstrating the way in which they have continually applied their knowledge directly to the context of Amazon operations.
In order to maximise your on-the-job learning, you can expect to spend time in different areas of our fast-paced warehouse environment. Learners will follow a workplace placement plan, and could spend time in support functions such as Procurement, Quality, and HR, to broaden business knowledge. You can expect to work on different shift patterns throughout your apprenticeship, including some weekend and/or night shift work patterns.

Role Responsibilities:

Ensure customer orders are fulfilled per quality guidelines
Assign work to employees as required to support workflow and daily production KPIs/goals
Develop subject matter expertise on all operations processes in assigned department
Create and cultivate a safety culture by identifying and addressing safety hazards within the work environment
Deliver coaching and feedback to associates related to productivity, quality, and safe behaviors
Support management with tracking, trending, and reporting of departmental metrics
Support management in analyzing and understanding the reasons behind success and failure in meeting departmental delivery and Site KPIs/goals
Drive actions as communicated by manager to remove barriers impacting good shift performance
Support management team in training and upskilling new associates
Ensure that all apprenticeship activities are completed in the required timescale
You are able to read, understand, and communicate in English, and interact and engage comfortably with people at all levels of the business
You can follow a list of guidelines and instructions (verbal or written) to deliver results and meet deadlines.
You are flexible, adaptable, and proactive, with a hands-on approach
You have excellent customer facing skills and deliver impeccable customer service
You seek and respond well to feedback
