Join today at Amazon Warehouse Operations to bring customers orders closer to their doors. As a Sortation Associate, you may work in a sortation center or in a delivery station. Your role is key in enabling fast, every day deliveries. Sorters are responsible for organizing, categorizing, and separating products and materials. They commonly work in production or warehousing environments.

Warehouse sorters are in charge of sorting materials, equipment, and finished packages to ensure the smooth workflow of a warehouse.
