Area Manager II – Amazon – Cambridge, ON

Amazon Canada is looking for an Area Manager II to join its fulfillment operations in Cambridge, Ontario. This posting is designed to gather interest for existing and upcoming openings in Q3 2026, making it a timely opportunity to get your foot in the door with one of the world’s largest logistics networks. If you’re a results-driven leader who thrives in a fast-paced, operations environment, this could be your next step.

In this role, you’ll oversee a team of up to 80 associates, driving performance across safety, quality, productivity, and customer delivery. Day-to-day, you’ll coach your team through operational challenges, collaborate cross-functionally, and use data-driven decision making to improve workflows that ultimately impact millions of customer orders across Canada.

About the Role: Area Manager II

As an Area Manager II at an Amazon fulfillment centre in Cambridge, you’ll act as a strategic operational leader. You’ll facilitate planning sessions, diagnose performance gaps using advanced analytics, and partner with teams in Quality, HR, Safety, Engineering, and Loss Prevention to develop and execute plans that meet business objectives. Your decisions will have measurable impact at the department level and beyond.

This position also requires physical presence on the floor — you’ll be standing or walking for up to 12 hours per shift, working in variable temperature environments, and occasionally lifting up to 49 pounds.

Responsibilities

As an Area Manager II, your day-to-day responsibilities span leadership, analytics, and cross-functional collaboration. You’ll be accountable for the performance and well-being of a large team while keeping Amazon’s high standards for safety, quality, and customer satisfaction at the forefront of every decision.
