Sustainability Program Manager, EU Ops Sustainability

EU Operations Sustainability drives the decarbonization of Amazon's operational footprint across Europe, focusing on reducing environmental impact from transportation, buildings, and energy consumption. The team develops and executes strategies spanning First Mile, Middle Mile, and Last Mile logistics — including energy efficiency, renewable energy, building material decarbonization and climate resiliency and adaptation, at fulfillment centers, sort centres and delivery stations. Working cross-functionally with EU Operations, WW Sustainability, engineering and procurement, the EU Ops Sustainability team translates Amazon's Climate Pledge commitments into actionable programs with measurable targets. The team navigates also the evolving European regulatory landscape to ensure compliance while identifying opportunities to accelerate decarbonization ahead of mandated timelines.

In this role, you will own strategic, tactical, and cross-functional projects and programs within the STEP organization to meet sustainability goals.

You will work day-to-day with cross-functional partners including RME, Finance, Real Estate, Design & Construction (D&C), and IT to deliver measurable energy and carbon reductions. You will also have the opportunity to work with selected start-ups through the Amazon Sustainability Accelerator (ASA) – Climate Tech programme, helping to evaluate, pilot, and scale innovative sustainability technologies across Amazon's European fulfillment network.

This role can be also based in other EU cities: Paris (CDG10), Barcelona (BCN10), Madrid (MAD12), Milan (LIN15), and Munich (MUC11).

The position is classified at level 1 or above, depending on the candidate's skills, competences and experience.
