Working at Amazon Operations
Amazon Operations sits at the heart of the Amazon customer experience. We look after everything from the moment a customer clicks buy, to the moment their item is delivered—from desktop to doorstep.
Across the UK, Amazon employs more than 55,000 people. We have 25 fulfilment centres, dozens of delivery stations, and thousands of robotics units, all working in harmony with our talented teams. Together, they make sure the right items get delivered to the right customers, in the right place, at the right time.

We recruit locally, and we also support local schools, colleges, and community projects.
In 2020, we provided in-kind services, cash, and product donations to support vulnerable groups across the UK. We also play an active role in the communities where we operate, from helping educate the next generation of engineers and scientists to getting kids the meals they need to best start their day.
