Manager - Supply Chain and Procurement, Custom Silicon

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a strong people leader to build and manage the supply chain and procurement team responsible for a custom silicon portfolio. This team identifies, develops, and integrates innovative silicon technology to deliver the best operating, lowest-cost infrastructure in the world, working in close collaboration with internal and external cross-functional teams. It is central to how AWS"s Supply Chain and Procurement organization achieves continuity of supply and cost goals on constrained, long-lead components.

The successful candidate is an experienced manager who thrives in ambiguity, holds a high bar for detail, and has built and developed teams in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. You set direction, grow talent, and hold your team accountable for results. You bring excellent analytical judgment, program and people management experience, and the ability to lead executive-level reviews and communicate clearly at all levels of the company - in writing and in meetings.

The ideal candidate raises the bar on delivering the right supply at the right time, and builds a team that does the same. You are curious about the business end-to-end, coach your team to deep-dive into data, and have a track record of using data to influence decision makers and develop people who do likewise.
