Amazon Global Logistics (AGL) North America Destination Operations manages the end-to-end flow of international freight into Canadian Fulfillment Centers — from ocean vessel arrival at port through drayage, transload, linehaul, and final delivery. We are looking for a Supply Chain Manager III to own the E2E strategy for Canada Overseas Imports (Ocean/ Air) and Ground Imports (cross-border), driving lead time reduction, cost optimization, and network reliability across a complex multi-modal supply chain.
This is a strategic, high-ownership role. You will define the vision for how goods move from origin port to Canadian FC, influence carrier and transloader performance, build mechanisms to manage exceptions at scale, and partner with Origin, Customs, Capacity Planning, Retail, Finance, and FC Operations to deliver against competitive lead time targets. You will operate in a fast-changing trade environment and rapid volume growth, while building the playbook for a market that is still maturing relative to the US network.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end import logistics strategy for Canada, defining how goods move from origin ports to Canadian fulfillment centers across ocean (FCL/LCL), air, drayage, transload, linehaul, and intermodal rail while managing daily execution to ensure network reliability
- Drive cost reduction and lead time improvement across all transportation modes by identifying optimization opportunities, managing carrier and logistics service provider performance through SLAs and scorecards, and resolving disruptions in real time
- Expand Canada's logistics capabilities by developing new port entry strategies, onboarding transload partners, and building scalable processes and standard operating procedures for a maturing market
- Partner cross-functionally with Customs, Capacity Planning, Retail, Finance, FC Operations, and technology teams to align supply chain execution with demand signals and to improve visibility, milestone tracking, and automation
- Own key performance metrics including Total Lead Time and Imports Delivery Accuracy, conducting root-cause analysis and communicating results and trade-offs to senior leadership through structured business reviews
A day in the life
Your morning begins with checking overnight shipment arrivals and flagging delays at Canadian ports. A group of containers in Vancouver is at risk of extra fees — you work with transportation partners to get them moving. Mid-morning, you lead a meeting with warehouse partners to solve capacity challenges before the holiday rush. After lunch, you dig into delivery speed data by shipping lane, building recommendations for your leadership review. You end the day proposing a new rail route from Prince Rupert to Toronto that could cut delivery times by three days and reduce shipping costs.
