Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) creates an environment where we are safe to go by championing health, safety, and well-being for our employees, contractors, and partners. To support this, Amazon is seeking an exceptional and strategic people manager to serve as the On-Road (OTR) Country Leader for Japan, owning road-safety outcomes across Amazon's Japan last-mile and middle-mile transportation network. In this role, you will own the safety performance of a fully outsourced network operated through Delivery Service Partners (DSPs), Amazon Flexible Delivery Partners (AmFlex), and Hub Delivery Partners, spanning kei-van, standard-van, and a growing Micro-Mobility of Transport (MMOT) fleet of e-bikes and walker routes.

You will interact regularly with Directors and VPs across WHS, Operations, Finance, Legal, and Engineering teams, serving as a trusted advisor and execution leader, and will represent Japan OTR to the Global Road Safety organization.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
