Key job responsibilities:
We are looking for exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people to join our Operations Teams to complete the Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship (CMDA) at one of our warehouses in England. As a degree apprentice, you will join Amazon in a supervisory role, overseeing the management of one or more processes across our operation, leading a small team of up to 20 on your shift.
In this role, you will drive the pulse of our operations on the ground and play a key role in getting our customers' orders out to them in every step of our fast-moving and dynamic process. This is a varied, challenging role and every day is different!
As an apprentice, you will dedicate 20% of your working time to your apprenticeship studies, attending seminars, writing assignments, and completing other 'off-the-job' learning activities. The remaining 80% of your time will be spent 'on-the-job' as a supervisor. Apprentices work closely with site management teams to ensure that the assigned department is performing in line with the plan and that customer expectations are met, if not exceeded.
The Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship is delivered by Manchester Metropolitan University over a three-year period. Participants will develop their skills in the workplace, supported by an Amazon mentor and a University Skills Coach who will help support to effectively embed learning alongside managerial practice.
In order to maximize your on-the-job learning, you can expect to spend time in different areas of our fast-paced warehouse environment. You will work on different shift patterns throughout your apprenticeship, including some weekend and/or night shift work patterns.
