About the Role
We are looking for a Speed programs manager to own end-to-end capacity planning for High Volume Events (HVE) across the EU5 Same Day network. This role sits within the Speed Programs team and is responsible for ensuring our stations are resourced, planned, and ready to deliver on our customer promise during the most demanding periods of the year — Prime Day, Peak (Black Friday/Cyber Monday), and other high-volume events.
You will work backwards from demand forecasts to build station-level capacity plans, identify gaps before they become misses, and drive cross-functional alignment with Last Mile, Middle Mile, Operations, and partner teams to close them. You will own the planning calendar, mechanisms, and governance that ensure the network moves from "plan" to "ready" with full accountability at each milestone.
This role requires someone who is comfortable operating in ambiguity, can translate large data sets into clear capacity decisions, and can hold partner teams accountable to shared commitments under time pressure. You will be the single-threaded owner for HVE capacity readiness across EU5 Same Day — when Peak arrives, your plans are what the network executes against.

- Partner with Operations, Last Mile, Middle Mile, and Tech teams to align inputs and commitments
- Produce clear, data-driven recommendations for senior leadership when trade-offs are required
