In addition to its core retail business, Jassy needs to find specialized professionals in Amazon’s cloud, advertising and Project Kuiper division, which is launching satellites into orbit to offer widely accessible broadband service.
The roles are primarily permanent jobs.They include “order fillers, freight handlers, lift drivers, technicians and management positions. The average pay for its supply chain employees is $20.37 an hour.” Similar to Amazon, Walmart is holding hiring events on September 8 and 9. . These roles are in addition to approximately 4,000 licensed representatives, technologists and customer service representatives jobs that were previously posted.
