Contract Amazon Mapping Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Do you have a passion for aviation and building new air cargo solutions? Amazon Air operates a global air cargo network with a fleet of over 100 cargo aircraft serving more than 70 airports in North America, Europe, and Asia. Beyond powering Amazon's consumer delivery network, Amazon Air is increasingly supporting internal Amazon divisions - including Leo, AWS, Devices, and Robotics - with dedicated air logistics solutions. We're growing fast, expanding into new international markets, partnering with new airlines, and designing air products that deliver faster, lower-cost service for customers and internal stakeholders worldwide.
We're looking for an International Business Development Manager, Global Carrier Commercials to identify, develop, and shape new air carrier partnerships across trans-Pacific and US-to-LATAM routes. This is a builder role - you'll scan the market for the right partners, model the economics of new air products, manage competitive sourcing processes, and prepare the commercial framework for large-scale negotiations.
You will work at the intersection of aviation, logistics, and commercial strategy - turning market opportunities into flyable capacity. You'll manage RFPs end-to-end, evaluate carrier bids on cost, capability, and network fit, and develop compelling business cases that inform multi-million-dollar sourcing decisions.

- Develop business cases and investment recommendations for new international air products, supported by data and financial modeling
- Design and manage competitive RFP processes - drafting requirements, issuing documents, evaluating responses, and presenting recommendations
- Model air product economics including ACMI and charter pricing structures, fuel pass-through mechanisms, utilization scenarios, and total cost-to-serve across multiple route options
- Compare and benchmark carrier bids on commercial terms, operational capability, fleet suitability, and risk profile
- Prepare negotiation strategies, term-sheets, and supporting analysis for senior commercial leads
- Contribute to the standardization of BD processes, playbooks, and tools across the Global Carrier Commercials team
- Track market dynamics - carrier financials, fleet movements, regulatory changes, and competitive activity - to inform sourcing timing and strategy
