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, where you will oversee

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 be driving the pulse of our operations on the ground and

playing 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. As well as attending

lectures at the University campus three times per year, 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. The program will leave graduates with the

experience and competences necessary to take successful long-term managerial

responsibility for people, projects, operations, and services within the

business.

The early units of the course introduce strategic leadership, operations and

technology, sales, marketing, and business finance. Apprentices will be

encouraged to demonstrate how they can apply these skills in the workplace.

Later units explore project management, strategy, digital technologies in

business, and leadership techniques. Apprentices will reconcile their learning

at the end of the final year with a substantial work-based project and through

the creation of a business portfolio, demonstrating the way in which they have

continually applied their knowledge directly to the context of Amazon

operations.

In order to maximise your on-the-job learning, you can expect to spend time in

different areas of our fast-paced warehouse environment. Learners will follow

a workplace placement plan, and could spend time in support functions such as

Safety, Quality, and HR, to broaden business knowledge. You will work on

different shift patterns throughout your apprenticeship, including some

weekend andor night shift work patterns.
