Amazon’s Supply Chain Managers play a central role in our global business. They keep our complex, international supply chains working seamlessly and efficiently. As a Supply Chain Manager (SCM), you will work closely with multiple stakeholders across Amazon, from Operational teams who are fulfilling customer orders to Retail teams and everything in between. You’ll help us optimize our supply chains to make our customer experience even better and our business more energy and cost efficient.
Key job responsibilities
Define supply chain and operating models for various businesses
Analyze and interpret data to improve efficiency across supply chains and multiple operations
Partner with teams to advise on and manage operational challenges
Support the planning and organization of complex projects
A day in the life
Being a Supply Chain Manager for Amazon involves lots of problem solving. You’ll work with a number of teams to navigate challenges as and when situations impact our network. You’ll spend time resolving temporary issues and looking at the bigger picture to drive Amazon towards achieving new objectives. This role is both proactive and reactive, and you’ll have the opportunity to help forecast and plan for new projects.
As a Supply Chain Manager, you’ll need to help with both on-the-ground tasks and more tactical work. No two days will be the same. You could spend one day helping to define our supply chain and operating models and the next assisting with a site’s resource plan for a busy period. Having so much variety in your role means you’ll be able to learn something new every day.
This role can be in Fresh FCs across UK, IT, ES, DE and Lux, as well as our corporate locations in London (LHR16 UK), Milan (LIN11 IT), Madrid (MAD12 ES) and Munich (MUC11 DE).
