Senior Supply Chain Manager, GRIT2, Global Procurement Organization

Amazon.com Inc
  • Bellevue, WA
    3 days ago

    Job Description

    What if the biggest opportunity in Amazon"s supply chain isn"t within any single category - but at the intersection of all of them? You"ll design and optimize the global network that connects procurement to fulfillment, turning siloed supply chains into an integrated system that delivers at continental scale.

    This is not a traditional category management role. You will own the integration layer across Amazon"s non-inventory supply chain - applying Lean Six Sigma methodology to network architecture, building the financial models that justify expansion, and partnering with senior leaders across operations, finance, and logistics to sell the vision of end-to-end supply chain optimization.

    What you"ll do:

    Design and prove an integrated distribution model across multiple supply chain pillars and geographies

    Reset and own strategic relationships with senior finance, operations, and logistics stakeholders

    Apply value stream mapping and network optimization to identify savings at intersection points others miss

    Leverage cross-organizational resources to accelerate integration without incremental headcount

    Build the business case and relationships that shape the team"s next strategic expansion

    This role is for someone who thinks in systems, influences through data, and builds through relationships. You"ll operate at the intersection of strategy and execution - close enough to the supply chain to understand the details, senior enough to move the decisions.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Design and own the end-to-end network integration model across Amazon"s non-inventory supply chain - identifying where distribution flows intersect across categories and geographies, and proving that integrated operations deliver more value than siloed approaches
    • Build and maintain strategic relationships with senior finance, operations, and logistics leaders - serving as the first point of engagement when complex cross-functional issues require resolution at senior manager level and above
    • Apply Lean Six Sigma methodology and value stream mapping to optimize supply chain architecture, identify savings at intersection points, and build financial models that justify network expansion
    • Develop strategies to leverage cross-organizational resources and shared services capacity to accelerate integration work without incremental headcount investment
    • Build and present the business case for supply chain network evolution to senior leadership - translating operational data into strategic narratives that secure alignment and funding for future scope expansion

    A day in the life

    Your morning might start with a working session alongside finance leaders, rebuilding a cost model that proves the value of integrated distribution. After lunch, you"re mapping material flows across three overlapping supply chains to find the intersection nobody else has spotted. Later, you"re coaching a category lead through a supplier escalation, then jumping into a leadership review where you present how network optimization unlocked savings this quarter. You"re the person connecting dots across the organization - equal parts strategist, relationship builder, and supply chain engineer. No two weeks look the same.

    About the team

    We manage how Amazon"s non-inventory supplies - packaging, pallets, grocery packaging and raw materials- flow from manufacturers to fulfillment centers globally. Our team operates as a supply chain integrator: we don"t just buy things, we design end-to-end distribution systems across continents. You"ll join a team of seven category managers and supply chain strategists, each owning distinct pillars that together form an interconnected network. Our internal customers are operations, grocery, and logistics teams who depend on us to keep supplies moving. We value systems thinking, intellectual honesty, and building sustainable solutions over quick fixes.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. 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.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa.

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

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
