Same Day Program Excellence Lead, EU STEP

At Amazon, we are working to be the most customer-centric company on earth, where customers can find and discover anything they might want to buy online. Same Day is where that promise moves fastest. It is the speed frontier of Amazon delivery: customers order and receive their items within hours, on the same day, through a purpose-built network of Same Day sites and last mile operations. It is one of the fastest-growing parts of the business, with EU volumes set to grow by nearly 40% between 2026 and 2029. Delivering that growth depends on how well we plan, experiment, and scale, and Same Day Program Excellence sits at the center of it: turning data from across the network into the insights, mechanisms, and program governance that ensure the planning teams scale at pace with the business, so operations and capacity teams can build capacity, control cost, and delight customers with unmatched speed over the next five years.
