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
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.
