Timeline

Phase 1: Mandatory Paid Training Week (Mid-September)

To guarantee your success, you will not start blindly. You will spend your first week working with our team at our busy main station to master our tools, procedures, company culture, and tracking metrics.

• Fully Paid Training: You get paid your full base rate of $26.50/hr for all training hours.
• Hotel Lodging Covered: The company books and pays for 4 nights at a clean business hotel near our main facility.
• Daily Food Allowance: You will receive a flat $50.00 daily meal allowance ($250 total), given on Day 1 via a digital corporate card.

Phase 2: Pre-Launch Site Setup & Hiring (Late September)

Following your training week, you will go to the expansion site to build the operation from the ground up:

• Manage the station setup, organize our desk and storage cage, setup parking and accept the incoming delivery vans and equipment.
• Conduct face-to-face final interviews from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM daily using our recruitment pipeline.
• Manage driver onboarding compliance and clear the initial team through Amazon training.

Phase 3: Live Operations & Shift Windows (October 6 Onward)

Once packages go live, you will run the afternoon and evening operations. We expect normal shift hours will be around 12:30 PM to 10:30 PM to keep things moving safely before and after deliveries end at 10:00 PM.

• Command Ground Operations: Track real-time delivery pacing via the Amazon DSP Portal, communicate with Amazon leaders on Slack, and supervise the drivers returning to the station at night.
• Monitor Work Hours Compliance: Proactively send rescue drivers to ensure regular drivers finish their routes within a strict 10-hour limit.
• Maintain Amazon Delivery Excellence: Track safety and quality scores to make sure the team hits Fantastic+ on our Scorecard every week.
• Protect the Fleet: Run daily post-trip visual audits. Compare returning vans against morning photos to identify and log new damage right away. Maintain high safety standards and hold drivers accountable.
• Note on Peak Volume: During busy weeks (30+ routes), shifts may shift to 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM so you can work alongside the morning lead driver.

Note: As Operations Manager, you will go through the same onboarding process & driver training as Delivery Associates. You will also be expected to get hands-on experience delivering packages so you can understand the job of a Delivery Associate. Although this is an Operations Management job, you need this experience because in emergency situations, you may have to drive & deliver packages alongside our Delivery Associates.
