Description

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

The Lab Operations Manager owns end-to-end execution of facility program processes within a satellite production/manufacturing environment, serving as the primary interface between operations and cross-functional teams across Leo Manufacturing. Lead the intake governance process by driving prioritization, facilitating decision-making, and identifying risks early. Ensure consistent forward progress by unblocking projects and aligning stakeholders to deliver effective, timely solutions.

Partner closely with internal tooling teams to maintain accurate, real-time visibility through dashboards and trackers, while establishing and enforcing governance mechanisms that standardize processes across sites. Build scalable, repeatable operational frameworks to support growing facility needs, and act as the Operations Subject Matter Expert for workplace execution and continuous improvement. Continuously provide feedback to central teams on operational gaps, performance trends, and opportunities to enhance efficiency and user experience.

A day in the life
As an Operations Manager, your day typically begins with reviewing incoming requests and aligning on priorities for the day, ensuring work is progressing against key operational needs. Throughout the morning, you stay close to execution, tracking progress, resolving blockers, and making sure plans translate smoothly on the ground.

As the day progresses, you spend time on the floor observing operations, identifying gaps, and ensuring the environment meets safety and efficiency standards. Alongside this, you respond to ongoing requests, provide input on improvements, and share feedback with central teams. Your focus remains on keeping operations running smoothly while continuously improving processes and the overall workplace experience.
