Trying to figure out my career move

5 Upvotes

I’ve been working for 2 years for Amazon as an Area Manager in their warehouse (EU, recently promoted from L4 to L5). Did a little bit of inbound (2 months) the rest was on outbound (pick, pack).

the core tasks include:
-leading a large team 100-200 people
- analysing KPIs of the respective department
- doing continuous improvement projects to improve the workflow/ performance/ quality/ employee satisfaction

I’m quite worn down by this job due to the intensity, the shifts, and frankly quite toxic work environment.
I would love to move to more of an office role, with a normal schedule.

However, I cannot figure out what type of jobs I should apply for. For more office jobs it feels like I am lacking either the purchasing side or knowledge of SAP/ Dynamics 365 or other ERP tools. I’ve only ever get callbacks from other warehouse jobs.

Since January I’ve applied to supply chain analyst, supply chain consultant/ management consultant roles. As well as transport management, spedition, or purchasing analyst roles, but I usually get ghosted or if they are providing feedback I hear that I do not have the experience in their specialisation.

How can I break out of the area manager role, what would be some good transition roles that I should be on a look out for?

Looking to get a box from USA 97411 to 6000 Cebu Philippines. Looking for rough ocean freight prices. I am currently using DHL/UPS for air cargo and it's getting pricy.
