Sr. Technical Program Manager, Fulfillment Planning

When you order items on Amazon, there are practically thousands of ways we can fulfill that order. Which Fulfillment Center do we ship the items from, what carriers to use, what boxes to combine items in - now scale the same question to every single order on Amazon worldwide.
