AMZ Prep®

Ontario
AMZ Prep is a North American omnichannel fulfillment company built for e-commerce brands that are done experimenting and ready to scale. We operate 20+ warehouses across the US, Canada, and Europe, run one of the few approved Seller Fulfilled Prime networks on the continent, and serve brands doing $5M-$50M+ across cosmetics, food and beverage, pet, supplements, apparel, home, and big and bulky categories.
Our clients sell on Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, retail, and B2B. They come to us because operations became the bottleneck, and we fix that.
We move fast, we own outcomes, and we're building a team that matches the ambition of the company.
The Role
We're looking for a Chief of Staff to the COO to bring structure, clarity, and execution discipline to a fast-moving operations organization. This is not a coordinator role. This is a force-multiplier role.
You'll sit at the center of Fulfillment, Freight, Parcel, Client Success, and Operational Technology. You'll own the ops operating cadence, drive accountability across 20+ partner facilities, and run high-impact projects directly with the COO.
You'll be the person who makes sure operational priorities don't just get discussed, they get done.
Operating Cadence and Structure
Own and run the weekly operations leadership meeting, including the agenda, the scorecard, and follow-through on every action item
Build and maintain the full operating rhythm across the ops org, covering network performance reviews, MBRs and QBRs with 3PL and freight partners, leadership syncs, and capacity planning sessions
Implement and run EOS inside the operations function through L10s, scorecards, rocks, and issues lists
Define and enforce clear workflows, ownership lines, and handoffs between Fulfillment, Freight, Parcel, and Client Success
Manage the operations calendar and all cross-functional coordination
Identify bottlenecks before they become client-facing problems and implement scalable fixes
Act as the escalation traffic controller for the COO by triaging what comes in, routing it to the right owner, and tracking it to resolution
Maintain the escalation framework, including severity tiers, response times, ownership, and communication templates
Lead root cause analysis across people, process, and systems when SLA, OTIF, or accuracy slips
Make sure every escalation produces a documented fix and a process change, not just a fire that got put out
Own the post-mortem process and drive corrective actions to closure
Keep Client Success, Sales, and Finance informed on the status of at-risk accounts and sites
Account Strategy and Client Experience
Partner with Client Success and Operations on strategy for our largest and most complex accounts, covering volume forecasting, capacity planning, network placement, and service design
Build and run account-level operational reviews for strategic merchants
Analyze cost to serve, cost per order, and cost per unit by account, and flag margin risk before it compounds
Support launch and onboarding plans for large or operationally complex merchants
Track NPS, churn signals, and the operational drivers behind retention
Prepare the COO for client-facing conversations with the data and the narrative already assembled
Scorecard Ownership and Accountability
Own the operations scorecard end to end by building it, running it, and keeping it current
Hold Fulfillment, Freight, Parcel, and Client Success accountable to their weekly and monthly numbers
Track network-level performance across on-time fulfillment, SLA percentage, inbound to check-in time, OTIF, inventory accuracy, and throughput
Ensure every site, every partner, and every leader has a clear metric attached to them
Surface issues early, bring them to the right people, and make sure they get resolved
Create the visibility the COO needs to make fast, informed decisions
KPI Tracking, Reporting, and Insights
Own the unified operations metrics framework across fulfillment, freight, parcel, and client experience
Partner with the technology team to build and maintain live dashboards across ShipHero, Logiwa, Signal, and our custom system
Monitor KPIs against goals and surface risk proactively rather than reactively
Translate operational data into a explicit narrative for COO-level, leadership, and board communication
Be genuinely comfortable in Excel, Looker Studio, and Power BI, and with data more broadly
Cross-Functional Alignment
Be the connective tissue between Operations and the rest of the business
Work with Finance on margin tracking, cost control, and vendor compliance
Work with Sales on network capability, timelines, and the operational feasibility of new deals
Work with Client Success on at-risk accounts and the operational drivers of churn
Work with Technology on automation and AI agents that remove manual work from the network
Draft strategy docs, meeting agendas, performance updates, and operational briefs
Remove ambiguity by defining what success looks like, who owns what, and when it's due
Rocks and Quarterly Planning
Lead the quarterly operations planning cycle end to end, from goal-setting through weekly check-ins to final reporting
Translate COO priorities into structured workstreams with named owners, milestones, and measurable outcomes
Hold the team accountable to commitments, which takes judgment and not just process
Special Projects with the COO
Lead high-impact operational initiatives from start to finish, including:
Network design, capacity planning, and volume placement across sites
New site launches and 3PL and freight partner onboarding
Program rollouts such as parcel, SFP, B2B, and prep workflow changes
Cost to serve analysis and operational input into pricing
SOP, playbook, and partner evaluation model builds across the network
Carrier and vendor performance frameworks
Automation and AI agent deployment inside operations
Own projects end to end, including research, planning, cross-functional coordination, and execution
What We're Looking For
3-6 years in a Chief of Staff, head of operations, head of supply-chain, operations strategy, program management, or supply chain role at a high-growth company
Hands‑on experience running EOS or a similar operating system, including L10s, scorecards, rocks, and accountability rhythms
Proven ability to own a meeting, meaning you run it, prepare for it, and make it count rather than just attending it
Strong analytical skills, so you can build a scorecard, track performance against targets, and tell the story behind the numbers
Comfort with operational data such as SLA, OTIF, cost per order, accuracy, and throughput
Clear, precise communicator who can align teams, run a leadership meeting, and draft a brief without escalating everything to the COO
Experience working directly with a COO, VP of Operations, or C‑suite operator, so you understand what real leverage looks like
Comfortable with ambiguity, and able to create structure where none exists without waiting to be told what to do
Willing to travel to partner sites for launches, audits, or escalations, roughly 15‑25% of the role
Bonus: worked for a brand that used 3PL's
Our Values
Our team operates with a few simple principles that guide how we work. If you don't align with these values, we'd recommend you don't apply.
Win Relentlessly. We work hard and stay resilient when things get difficult. We push to raise the bar every day and are obsessed with delivering results for our merchants.
Own the Outcome. We take responsibility for the results of our work. When something breaks, we step in, fix it, and make sure it does not happen again.
Be Humbly Confident. We are confident in our abilities but grounded in how we work with others. We communicate directly, avoid politics, and call out issues early.
Obsess Over Data. Data drives how we operate. We use numbers to identify problems, improve processes, and make better decisions.
What Success Looks Like
The COO's week runs on a cadence that holds, and priorities move without being chased
Escalations resolve faster, recur less, and each one leaves a documented process change behind
SLA, OTIF, and accuracy improve across the network of warehouse and freight partners
Operational gaps get caught proactively before they reach clients
Leadership has one source of truth on operational performance
Client experience, NPS, and retention improve across strategic accounts
