Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we've designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

The ideal candidate will have a successful track record working with a global supply base that is scaling their production in order to achieve business needs. Experience working in new and ambiguous environments while solving complex problems with a broad range of cross functional stakeholders will be an advantage.

Key job responsibilities

  • Ensuring on time delivery of ground equipment to Kuiper global sites and major sub-assemblies to the supplier production facility.
  • Working with the sourcing manager and tier 1 supplier to identify and resolve sub-tier supply constraints.
  • Working with the sourcing manager to develop supplier performance metrics to track day-to-day supply chain operations.
  • Collaborating with engineers to gain an in-depth knowledge of ground systems development, including emergent demand.
  • Communicating and managing Kuiper delivery requirements.
  • Proactively support sourcing managers and internal stakeholders to ensure supplier capacity plan actively matches demand plan
  • Capturing non-ERP based demand and flowing through the ERP system.
  • Developing tier 1 and tier 2 supply planning mechanisms that do not rely on ERP system.
  • Managing supply chain reporting (production, clear to build) implementation and usage to develop the right metrics to ensure supply availability.

A day in the life

The Amazon Leo team is looking for a Senior Supply Chain Manager to support business and engineering stakeholders by ensuring ground infrastructure equipment are delivered on time by the supply base. This will require the Supply Chain Manager to work closely with the planning and sourcing functions as well as the supply base to understand and resolve any sub-tier supply constraints, production constraints, and new schedule developments.

The Senior Supply Chain Manager will develop supplier's performance metrics to track day-to-day supply chain operations. Additionally, the Senior Supply Chain Manager will work with engineering customers to identify emergent demand for new product development and ensure the supply base has sufficient capacity to support both planned production and emergent development work.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

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.
