Operating Model: Leadership Principles And Ownership

Amazon’s operating model is anchored in its Leadership Principles, with emphasis on customer obsession, ownership, and fast execution. The principles are the shared language for decision-making and accountability across the company.

Amazon also emphasizes working backwards from the customer. On an org chart, that shows up as end-to-end ownership for customer outcomes, with leaders accountable for the full lifecycle of products and services.

What This Means For Org Design

  • Show direct ownership for major customer outcomes and platform bets.
  • Keep interfaces visible between Stores, AWS, devices, and shared services.
  • Tie dependencies back to customer outcomes and operational execution.

Leadership Structure: CEO And The S-Team

Amazon’s senior leadership team is the S-team. It includes the CEO and leaders of major businesses and functions across the portfolio. The S-team sets strategy and execution across Stores, AWS, devices, advertising, operations, finance, people, and security.

Amazon’s S-team currently lists 28 leaders. A clear org chart should show which S-team member owns each major business and how shared functions connect across the portfolio.

Business Structure: Three Reporting Segments

Amazon's most recent Form 10-K reports results across three segments: North America, International, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). This framing reflects the scale of its retail operations alongside a distinct cloud infrastructure business.

On an org chart, this shows up as segment leadership connected to shared technology, operations, and corporate teams that support execution across the portfolio.
