Description
The Global Fleet and Products (GFP) organization is responsible for managing and sustaining the Amazon Last Mile Fleet - one of the largest commercial delivery fleets in the world. We are seeking a Sr. Regional Fleet Manager to independently lead a team of Regional Fleet Managers (RFMs) across the Texazona Sub-Super Region, ensuring world-class vehicle safety and 100% mission-capable vehicles while driving cost efficiency at scale. This role requires 50-75% regional travel across Texas and Arizona.
This role manages a fleet of 6,000-10,000 vehicles spanning 30+ AMZL delivery stations and 300+ Delivery Service Partners (DSPs). You will serve as the direct Fleet support partner for the Sub-Super Regional Director and their team of Regional Directors, owning daily fleet compliance execution, strategic mechanism design, and long-term operational planning (OP1/OP2) for our organization.
Key job responsibilities
Lead, hire, and develop a team of 6-8 Regional Fleet Managers across multiple locations; set priorities through team empowerment, raise the talent bar through succession planning and leadership development.
Own daily fleet compliance and performance execution for 30+ delivery stations, managing Key Performance Metrics (KPMs) including EDV Utilization (EDVU), DVIC/VSA Compliance and Quality, DOT Compliance, Wear and Tear Compliance, Vehicle Operational Readiness Rate (VORR), and overall fleet health.
Own VORR targets across the region, driving root-cause analysis and corrective actions that reduce vehicle downtime and deliver measurable improvement in vehicle safety outcomes across 300+ DSP partnerships.
Design mechanisms and team structures that meet long-term business goals; lead the full lifecycle of complex, cross-functional projects from strategy development through scaled implementation.
Scale electric vehicle fleet operations across the region, partnering with electrification teams to drive EDV utilization, support EV launches, and ensure DSP readiness for fleet electrification milestones.
Partner across WW DSP, Workplace Health and Safety (WHS), Last Mile Operations, and third-party vendor teams to identify opportunities, prioritize competing interests, and develop strategic operational plans.
Work autonomously in an ambiguous environment, seeking to understand business problems, automation limitations, scaling factors, and reasons behind leadership decisions.
A day in the life
Your morning starts with the daily fleet health review - scanning VORR trends, grounded vehicle counts, and EDV utilization performance across your 30+ stations. You identify a cluster of overdue wear-and-tear repairs in one sub-region and assign your RFM to execute corrective actions with the vendor before the weekly business review.
By mid-morning, you're coaching an RFM on a strategy document for improving EDV utilization through a proactive DSP engagement mechanism. You push them to sharpen the problem statement, quantify the cost savings opportunity, and define a clear measurement plan.
After lunch, you join a cross-functional working session with WHS and Operations leadership to align on a DOT compliance initiative rolling out across the Sub-Super Region. You present the Fleet perspective, negotiate resource priorities, and commit to milestones.
Later in the week, you're in the field - auditing station-level execution with your RFMs, visiting third-party vendors to inspect service quality, and meeting with DSP owners to build trust and reinforce safety standards. Your week balances strategic leadership with hands-on field presence across the region.
About the team
Global Fleet and Products, Fleet Operations is the operational backbone of Amazon's last-mile delivery fleet. Our mission is to maintain the world's safest and most reliable delivery fleet by building scalable programs, driving vendor excellence, and embedding data-driven accountability into every station and every DSP partnership.
We operate at the intersection of fleet management, transportation safety, and logistics operations - ensuring that every Amazon-branded vehicle on the road meets the highest standards of safety, readiness, and regulatory compliance. Our work directly protects delivery associates, the communities they serve, and Amazon's reputation as a world-class operator.
We are in the midst of a generational fleet transformation - scaling electric vehicle operations, driving VORR to best-in-class levels, and building the mechanisms that will sustain a rapidly growing network. This is a build role, not a maintain role. If you thrive in ambiguity, lead through empowerment, and are energized by shaping what comes next, this is where you belong.
Basic Qualifications
- 7+ years of team management experience
- Bachelor's degree
- 7+ years of working cross functionally with tech and non-tech teams experience
- Experience owning program strategy and end to end delivery
- Experience defining program requirements and using data and metrics to drive improvements
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience implementing repeatable processes and driving automation or standardization
- Experience managing, analyzing and communicating results to senior leadership
- Experience in fleet management, transportation, automotive, or logistics operations
- Experience managing third-party vendor relationships at scale (100+ partners)

+ **In this position.** This role is for an Enterprise Release Manager within the Ford Credit Command Center.
+ The Command Center mission is to help maintain a stable production environment through effective change, incident, and problem management.
+ Enterprise Release Management (ERM) is a Ford Credit enterprise-wide IT best practice designed to synchronize changes to "core" and "non-core" applications.
+ ERM manages interdependent applications as a synchronized set to improve quality, efficiency, and reduce production implementation costs.
+ In this role, you will provide essential leadership to our release coordination efforts while playing a key part in the smooth operation of our core IT Service Management (ITSM) processes, specifically Incident, Change, and Problem Management.
+ A critical component of this position involves modernizing our release processes by minimizing developer friction through automation, establishing clear quality gates, driving a predictable "release train" cadence, and utilizing DORA metrics to track and improve launch behavior.
+ This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys supporting multiple highly synchronized initiatives, working with modern DevOps tools, and contributing to both release success and operational stability within a global IT environment.
**What you'll do.**
+ Minimize Friction & Automate Data Collection:
+ Meet developers where they work.
+ Integrate ERM tooling (e.g., ServiceNow, Jira Align, ADO) directly with CI/CD pipelines and backlog tools.
+ Use "Release Tags" in Jira/ADO to flag dependencies and automate status updates (e.g., auto-updating release plans when pull requests merge or QA deployments succeed).
+ Define & Enforce Quality Gates:
+ Establish and monitor a lightweight but firm governance framework.
+ Define and enforce a "Definition of Ready for Release" (DoR) at key milestones (e.g., T-Minus 10 days for cross-team dependency sign-offs, T-Minus 5 days for regression testing/vulnerability checks, T-Minus 2 days for verified rollback plans).
+ Ensure gates are objective and binary (Pass/Fail) using automated checks (e.g., SonarQube, automated test pass rates).
+ Establish a "Release Train" Cadence:
+ Publish and maintain a 12-Month Release Calendar locking in major release dates, code freeze windows, and maintenance windows.
+ Run short, highly focused "Scrum of Scrums" or Release Readiness Syncs (15-20 minutes) to resolve cross-team dependencies and environment conflicts.
+ Enforce a "Train Leaves on Time" policy where lagging features that miss critical gates are decoupled and pushed to the next release.
+ Provide Immediate Value to Teams:
+ Coordinate staging and test environments to act as a "traffic cop" and resolve contention.
+ Automate the generation of release documentation, CAB (Change Advisory Board) approvals, and audit logging to shield developers from corporate bureaucracy.
+ Work to eliminate deployment weekend chaos, turning long troubleshooting sessions into quiet, non-event deployments.
+ Measure & Gamify with DORA Metrics:
+ Track and publish key performance indicators, including Change Failure Rate (CFR), Deployment Lead Time, and Environment Downtime.
+ Create and share a highly visible "Release Health" Dashboard to highlight team achievements and identify areas needing coaching.
+ Facilitate Blameless Post-Mortems:
+ Following any release-related production incidents, facilitate collaborative, blameless post-mortems with involved teams to map out what happened, identify process gaps, and update the ERM playbook to prevent future occurrences.
+ Incident Bridge & Change Management Support:
+ Participate in critical situation bridges, track incident timelines, and participate in Production Management Post-Launch Incident Meetings.
+ Manage the ERM Change Freeze Calendar and ensure all Change Requests are aligned with ERM schedules and approved prior to production launches.
**You'll have.**
+ High School Diploma
+ 5+ years of experience in Release Management, Change Management, or Incident
+ Management within an enterprise IT environment.
+ Experience working within a Fintech (Financial Technology) organization or the financial services sector is a strong plus.
+ Experience using an ITSM platform (e.g., ServiceNow) for change enablement, incident tracking, and problem management
+ Experience using project management and backlog tools (e.g., Jira, Jira Align, Azure DevOps/ADO) to track release dependencies and build automated dashboards.Familiarity with DevOps metrics (DORA), automated testing tools, and code quality analysis gates (e.g., SonarQube).
+ Familiarity with ITIL principles or ITIL certification
+ Experience documenting complex technical processes, creating user guides, or maintaining internal release websites.
+ Knowledge of Ford Credit business operations (Business Centers or Central Office).
+ Understanding of monitoring tools and processes (ideally Dynatrace and Splunk).
+ Familiarity with SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) principles and practices.
+ Knowledge of various operating systems, databases, network protocols, and batch processing cycles (EOD/EOM) is an asset.
+ Familiarity with cybersecurity tools, processes, and controls.
**Even better, you may have.**
+ Project management background. The HM ranks this right under the non-negotiables
+ SRE or observability background, or at minimum awareness of SRE principles
+ Reporting background
+ Fintech experience, with automotive fintech being ideal
