Amazon Transportation Services (ATS) Brazil operates one of the most complex and fast-growing
Middle Mile networks in Latin America. Our network connects Fulfillment Centers, Sort Centers,
Inbound Cross-Docks (IXD), and Delivery Stations across the country — moving millions of packages
every week through surface, air, and multimodal transportation lanes. Our leaders navigate this complexity with data-driven rigor, operational discipline, and a relentless focus on the
customer promise.
In ATS Brazil, we are building the next generation of inbound surface operations — encompassing
Transshipment, IXD (Inbound Cross-Dock) and We Pay, and the integration of
inbound flows with the broader Middle Mile network. The leader in this role will be at the center of
that transformation.

Key job responsibilities
We are seeking a Senior Manager, Inbound Transportation to lead the Inbound
mile function within ATS Brazil, based at GRU8 in Cajamar, São Paulo. This is a senior leadership role
with full ownership of the Inbound Transportation strategy and operations — encompassing
Transshipment, IXD, We Pay and the integration of inbound flows with the broader Middle Mile
network. The Inbound mile is a critical and rapidly evolving pillar of ATS Brazil. The leader in this role will be responsible for solving the most complex transportation challenges in the network: balancing
inbound demand against constrained capacity, ensuring carrier safety and regulatory compliance
across hundreds of lanes, protecting the customer delivery promise (DEA), and defining the strategic
roadmap that will shape how Amazon Brazil scales its inbound surface network over the next three
to five years. This role requires a leader who operates at both the strategic and tactical level — contributing to the longer-term ATS Brazil direction while remaining close enough to the details to drive accountability for execution quality, safety outcomes, and network performance.
