DSP New Business Initiative Manager, DSP New Business Initiative

The Senior Manager, JP DSP New Business Initiative, serves as a single threaded leader from the DSP organization for evaluating and launching new business models within Amazon Logistics Japan. This role requires a strategic thinker and hands-on operator who can bridge DSP operations with cross-functional project teams, drive data-informed decisions, and lead end-to-end initiative execution — from feasibility assessment through pilot launch, expansion planning, and continuous improvement.

This leader is responsible for building the program's long-term strategy, defining what DSP capabilities need to be enabled and how to operationalize them at scale. The role demands the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders including the program, operations, product, tech, finance or any other relevant teams toward data-driven decisions that are critical to program success.

The role will own the full lifecycle from strategy through execution, leading pilot launches and post-launch operations until the program stabilizes as business-as-usual (BAU). This includes establishing scalable processes, monitoring performance metrics, resolving operational gaps, and ensuring a seamless transition to steady-state ownership.

At Amazon, you'll work alongside the latest AI and GenAI tools that are increasingly woven into how teams operate: from AI-powered capabilities that accelerate decision-making, to Generative AI that helps you focus on work that truly matters. You'll have opportunities and resources to develop AI fluency at your own pace, with continuous learning built into the culture.
