Key job responsibilities
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.
The Operations Manager (OMA) and Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship (CMDA) are delivered by Exeter University over a three-and-a-half-year period. As well as attending masterclasses at either an Amazon facility or the University campus four times per year, 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 OMA apprenticeship cover self-awareness, building relationships and communication skills, as well as people and operational 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 OMA apprenticeship, you will commence the CMDA programme, during which you will build on the knowledge gained during the OMA. 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 Safety, Quality, and HR, to broaden business knowledge. You will 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
