Amazon Extra Large (AMXL) owns the P&L and end-to-end (E2E) customer experience for large, heavy, and bulky products, consolidating strategy, analytics, tech, operations, warehousing, fulfillment, transportation, and delivery. AMXL also offers special handling such as Room of Choice delivery, Haul-Away, and Installation/Assembly, and operates in NA, EU, JP, and IN.

As the Senior Supply Chain Manager and single-threaded leader for AMXL Sort Center planning, you own the full current year plan for how heavy and bulky volume flows into, through, and out of North America (NA) AMXL sort centers, the consolidation nodes connecting fulfillment to final delivery. You plan inbound volume from every upstream source, how it is consolidated at each site, and the outbound flow that keeps linehaul trailers dense to the customer. You build the site and regional volume distributions the network depends on, surface throughput and capacity risk before it constrains the plan, and tie your numbers to outbound transportation and carrier strategy. Your plan is committed at the most senior levels of the organization. If you want to own current year AMXL Sort Center strategy and see your plan steer real network decisions, this role is built for you.

Key job responsibilities

  • Serve as the single-threaded leader for the North America (US and Canada) AMXL Sort Center full-year plan, owning every site"s inbound, processed, and outbound volume weekly from mid term plan through year end, refreshed each cycle.
  • Plan volume across each handling type (consolidation, cross dock, and package sortation) and each upstream source (fulfillment centers, other sort centers, direct-import and third-party seller nodes), recognizing each combination carries its own throughput rate.
  • Own the AMXL Sort Center metric set: site and regional volume distributions, inbound volume by source, processed volume and throughput, outbound volume, and trailer fill and linehaul density.
  • Set the consolidation and outbound flow strategy that keeps trailers dense, surfacing mechanical and throughput capacity risk before plans lock and tying it to outbound transportation and carrier strategy.
  • Provide backup support across the broader middle-mile plan, including linehaul, third-party carrier planning, and plan-over-plan metric bridges.
  • Drive leadership alignment to lock challenging yet achievable quarterly commitments, owning the handoff to finance, transportation, and planning teams.
  • Invent and simplify planning mechanisms, models, and automation across all horizons, and communicate strategy, risks, and trade-offs to senior leadership.

A day in the life

You own the full-year plan for how heavy and bulky volume flows through every US and Canada AMXL Sort Center. You read demand and upstream signals to see which sites are gaining volume and where throughput or capacity tightens. You shape site-level distributions and the consolidation and outbound flow that keeps trailers dense, partner with science, finance, transportation, and operations to pressure-test inputs and align leaders. Some weeks you go deep on a single site or consolidation flow, other weeks you back up the middle-mile plan on linehaul or carrier planning.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
