What Do Amazon and Your Business Have in Common? This Romanian Project Manager Knows 🌍

I was talking with a client last week who needed to hire an operations manager. They were struggling to find someone who could handle complex logistics, manage remote teams, and still fit their budget.
"Have you considered looking in Romania?" I asked.
They looked at me like I'd suggested hiring from Mars.
What they didn't know is that Amazon (yes, that Amazon) runs a massive operations hub in Romania. The talent there isn't just good. It's world-class.
Here's why Romanian project managers (and other Eastern European talent) might be exactly what your business needs:
1. They're trained by the best in the world
Amazon doesn't set up major operations hubs in countries without exceptional talent. Their Romanian center handles complex logistics, supply chain management, and operational excellence for one of the most demanding companies on earth.
When you hire from Romania, you're often getting professionals who've been trained in the Amazon ecosystem, people who understand world-class operations at scale but are available at a fraction of US costs.
2. They bring problem-solving skills, not just task completion
Unlike traditional outsourcing where you might get someone who just follows instructions, Eastern European professionals are critical thinkers. They don't just execute tasks, they solve problems.
One of our clients hired a Romanian project manager who had previously managed complex logistics for Norwegian oil companies shipping to the UAE. Running an agency's operations was actually simpler for her than coordinating international shipping routes, and she transformed their business in months.
3. Affordable Excellence Without Compromise
Here's the kicker: these Amazon-trained professionals typically cost 50-70% less than their US counterparts.
A senior operations manager with 5+ years at Amazon in the US might command a $120,000+ salary.
That same level of expertise from Romania? Often available for $3,000-4,000 per month.
This isn't about cutting corners or getting budget talent. It's about accessing world-class professionals who happen to live in regions with a lower cost of living. You're getting Amazon-level expertise at startup-friendly prices.
