We're seeking an experienced and driven Senior Workforce Planner to lead end-to-end labour supply chain execution across key fulfilment centre sites.
This is a high-profile, newly created role at the heart of Amazon Australia's rapid operational growth. As our network scales at pace, this is a rare opportunity to join at a pivotal moment and directly shape how we build and sustain the workforce behind it.

You will implement solutions that achieve business objectives, manage high volumes of work with minimal supervision, anticipate problems, and drive results in a fast-paced environment.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable analysing labor forecasts and conversion metrics as they are running large-scale new hiring events. You will serve as a trusted advisor to site leadership and a key connector between HR, Operations, and external staffing partners.
This role would be based at either the Ravenhall, Dandenong or Craigieburn Fulfillment Centre with travel required to various locations within your assigned region (up to 25%).
