Own the business case and capital request for each site, working with Finance, host business lines and the Head of Commercial Operations, with the Expansion Program Managers providing the design, cost and schedule inputs, and present the investment decision to leadership
Be accountable for cost, scope and schedule across all sites, within the budget for Prime Air-specific site technology and infrastructure
Own the infrastructure inputs to annual and multi-year planning, including the launch gearing model, capital and operating budget, and headcount case

About the team
Come work on the Amazon Prime Air Team!
Amazon Prime Air is seeking an experienced infrastructure and launch leader to roll out our drone delivery sites across Europe, and to make each launch faster than the last. Prime Air sites operate inside or alongside existing Amazon fulfilment centres, sort centres and delivery stations. You will lead the team that takes each site from test fit and design through build, installation and launch, own the European site pipeline and launch forecast, and set and drive the targets for how quickly and cost-effectively we launch. You will be Prime Air’s senior partner to host site leaders and to Amazon’s regional operations and engineering and construction leadership, and you will build the standards, playbooks and mechanisms that let us launch multiple sites a year across several countries. Prime Air is expanding drone delivery across Europe, and site delivery is on the critical path for every new site. Basic Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science or a related technical field
