We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a highly reliable, scalable, and low-cost cloud platform that powers thousands of businesses in over 190 countries. AWS’ Infrastructure Supply Chain & Procurement (ISCaP) organization works to deliver cutting-edge solutions to source, build and maintain our socially responsible data center supply chains. We are a team of highly-motivated, engaged, and responsive professionals who enable the core sustainable infrastructure of AWS. Come join our team and be a part of history as we deliver results for the largest cloud services company on Earth!

The successful candidate must be a self-starter comfortable with ambiguity, with high attention to detail, and a proven ability to work in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment. Candidates must have excellent analytical capabilities, program management experience, be comfortable diving deep into data, have strong writing skills, lead executive-level reviews, and communicate effectively.

§ Produce written recommendations and insights regarding supply availability for key stakeholders resulting in demand shaping or transition decsions.

§ Handle multiple projects at once, deal with ambiguity and rapidly-changing priorities.

Our environment is fast-paced and requires someone who gets results and is comfortable working with tight deadlines and changing priorities.

Key job responsibilities

In this role you will be the single threaded owner to produce the supply plan of record in support of the demand plan.
