About the role

Infrastructure and launch leadership role to roll out drone delivery sites across Europe for Prime Air. Responsible for end-to-end site pipeline from test fit to launch, building playbooks, managing costs and schedules, and coordinating with regional operations, engineering, and construction leadership to enable rapid, cost-effective site launches across multiple European countries.

Responsibilities

  • Own the European site infrastructure and launch program: the site pipeline, the launch forecast, and delivery of every site from test fit to launch readiness
  • Own the master programme schedule across the European site pipeline, integrating design, build and launch milestones for every site
  • Set targets for time-to-launch and cost per site, and drive them down site by site through standardisation, parallel workstreams and better mechanisms
  • Lead, develop and grow a team of Expansion Program Managers working across the UK and the EU
  • Own engagement with host sites, and hold Prime Air’s senior relationships with regional operations leadership and with Amazon GES, Amazon’s in-house engineering and construction organisation, agreeing the approach, priorities and capacity for each site and across the network
  • Build and run the site prioritisation framework with the Head of Commercial Operations, weighing return, cost, time to launch and readiness, and use it to decide which candidate sites to launch and in what sequence
  • Own the business case and capital request for each site, working with Finance, host business lines and the Head of Commercial Operations, with the Expansion Program Managers providing the design, cost and schedule inputs, and present the investment decision to leadership
  • Be accountable for cost, scope and schedule across all sites, within the budget for Prime Air-specific site technology and infrastructure
  • Own the infrastructure inputs to annual and multi-year planning, including the launch gearing model, capital and operating budget, and headcount case
  • Own the European Prime Air site design standard and the test-fit and launch playbooks, and adapt them to each country’s building, planning and safety requirements
  • Chair launch readiness reviews and take the launch go/no-go decision for every site, and run the program mechanisms that give leadership visibility of the launch plan: risk and change control, and regular reporting, integrated with the regulatory, operations, engineering and safety plans
