At Amazon, we are building a world class last mile operation with Amazon Flex as a cornerstone of this strategy.

Amazon Flex is powered by a mobile app that works in sync with our advanced systems and processes, allowing delivery partners to secure delivery offers, track their delivery progress, and more.

The Field Team is a fast-paced team that creates deep relationships with site operators and translates on-the-ground insights into process improvements that scale across the larger North American network. Team members work remotely and are located in their regions.
