Associate Corporate Counsel, Quick Commerce & Real Estate — MENA, Turkey and South Africa

Would you like to work on industry-leading quick commerce and real estate projects across one of the fastest-growing regions in Amazon's global logistics network? Work hard, have fun, make history. That's what we do every day at Amazon.

As Associate Corporate Counsel for Quick Commerce & Real Estate, you will be at the forefront of Amazon's rapid expansion of its quick commerce network across the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey and South Africa.
