As a Supply Chain Manager within Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), you will have the opportunity to own supply chain planning at the highest level for Amazon's fulfillment business. You will have a holistic view of supply and demand within the Amazon fulfillment network and be an integral part in creating and implementing large scale strategic initiatives in inventory optimization, transportation cost, labor capacity management and more - all with the goal of better serving our customers. There will rarely be a perfect solution, so it will be up to you to make data-driven decisions and manage stakeholder relationships while planning and executing within an ever-changing environment.

The Supply Chain Manager will work in a fast-paced, fluid environment and communicate business conditions and decisions effectively with stakeholders across multiple groups and levels - from warehouse associates to various Amazon Directors and VPs. In this role, a S&OP Supply Chain Manager will seek out problems, dive deep into data, earn trust of partner teams, and deliver results that can have a large scale influence. This role is a blend of short term execution and long term strategic planning, that requires quick decision-making, with incomplete data, while also thinking big and influencing the long term direction of the network. The end goal of this role is to answer the question of how we can fulfill more products to our customers in a safer, faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective manner.

Key job responsibilities

  • Successfully operate and influence in a cross-functional capacity to create the 16 week S&OP plan
  • Data mine by leveraging SQL to influence key business decisions
  • Demonstrate strong Customer focus
  • Work with tech teams to streamline the planning tools for accuracy and efficiency
  • Identify, prioritize, and implement processes to eliminate defects in the supply chain
  • Create, develop, and drive solutions that lead to a richer end to end customer experience
  • Execute thorough root cause analysis and deliver results

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

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
