    Description

    Global Procurement Central Services (GPCS) is seeking a Non-Inventory Supply Chain Manager to support the non-inventory procurement strategy for emerging and growing business lines within Amazon"s operational network.

    • Drive integration projects and change management initiatives in alignment with senior management, coordinating between partners and internal stakeholders
    • Monitor procurement plans and escalate risks or gaps to leadership as network growth, new site launches, and operational requirements evolve
    • Identify and recommend opportunities to drive cost savings, process efficiencies, and standardization across the non-inventory supply chain
    • Manage all administrative tasks required to establish new sites and enable ordering, including system setup, catalog configuration, and supplier alignment

    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
