About Julie Ross
I love connecting people to what inspires them and wakes them up in the morning. I joined Amazon in 2017 as an Area Manager at LEX2 in Kentucky. As an AM, I found my passion in developing and leading others, which lead me to a short-term assignment with university recruiting. After 3 months of sourcing future Amazonians, I moved to Seattle full-time in 2019 as a Client Lead with AMZL North America. Between now and then, I\'ve had the privilege to work for and with brilliant minds across the US and Canada.Now, I lead the Transportation Operations Management (TOM) Exempt Recruiting Team where I get to work with an amazing team, raise the bar for our hiring, and make history while we have fun and work hard.
