With Amazon Flex, partners are their own bosses - they can build their own schedules and choose from different types of opportunities (scheduled-ahead blocks, instant offers), all while making great earnings. Amazon Flex is powered by a mobile app, that works in concert with our advanced systems, allowing partners to sign in, grab an offer for a time, check out a map of the location, and more.
