    Job Description

    Amazon Heavy & Bulky Logistics (AMXL) is seeking a data-driven, analytically strong Senior Supply Chain Manager to own network placement optimization for our inbound strategy function. In this role, you will develop and execute strategies that improve how inventory is allocated across the AMXL fulfillment network, driving placement decisions that reduce cost-to-serve, improve CX, and improve profitability.

    You will own the end-to-end placement optimization lifecycle: identifying opportunities through data analysis, building models to evaluate placement scenarios, partnering with technology teams to translate insights into system logic, and measuring outcomes against key operational and financial metrics. You will work closely with demand planning, transportation, fulfillment operations, and inventory management teams to ensure placement strategies are aligned with network capacity, customer promise, and profitability goals.

    This is a high-impact individual contributor role that requires comfort with ambiguity, strong SQL and analytical skills, and the ability to influence cross-functional partners without direct authority. The ideal candidate can translate complex supply chain problems into structured frameworks, operate independently in a fast-paced environment, and deliver measurable improvements at scale.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own the strategy and execution of network placement optimization for AMXL inbound inventory, balancing delivery speed, cost efficiency, and capacity constraints
    • Analyze large datasets using SQL and Excel to identify placement defects, quantify opportunity size, and evaluate scenario tradeoffs
    • Develop and maintain placement models and frameworks that inform where inventory should be positioned across the network
    • Partner with technology, operations, and planning teams to translate analytical findings into scalable system and process improvements
    • Define and track KPIs for placement health, measuring impact on transportation cost, fulfillment efficiency, and customer experience
    • Drive cross-functional alignment on placement priorities, communicating insights and recommendations to senior leadership
    • Document methodologies, assumptions, and decision logic to ensure continuity and reproducibility across the team

    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. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. 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.
