    Description

    We are seeking a Sr. Supply Chain Manager to lead Outbound Customer Experience (CX) Performance within NACF Supply Chain Optimization team. This role owns evaluating cost trade-offs between Outbound Plan accuracy and Cost by owning how work moves through Amazon"s Outbound Network-shaping Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) plans and network design to directly influence delivery speed and cost trade-offs at the network level.

    Partnering with planning, design and analytics teams you will execute mid-to-long-term strategies including speed sensitivity modeling and connectivity optimization analysis. You will quantify how Fulfillment Center (FC) utilization, assignment patterns, and lane configurations impact 1D/2D speed, and build frameworks that enable leadership to make explicit speed-vs-cost trade-off decisions during the planning process. This includes regional stress testing for capacity-constrained Peak scenarios and building flexibility to absorb volatility into the network assignment plan.

    This role operates both tactically and strategically-driving short-term execution while shaping the long-term direction of outbound network optimization. You will work cross-functionally with planning, operations, and technical teams, influencing senior leaders (Directors and VPs) through data-driven recommendations. The ideal candidate excels at navigating ambiguity, simplifying complex systems, and delivering results at scale in a fast-paced environment

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own the Outbound CX speed-vs-cost trade-off framework, driving both tactical execution and strategic improvements to network delivery performance
    • Build and execute speed sensitivity and scenario models (BAU-to-Peak ramp, connectivity changes, regional stress testing) that quantify impact to 1D/2D speed and inform S&OP decisions
    • Work cross-functionally with planning, design, operations, and analytics teams to identify and implement process improvements that eliminate defects in outbound load-balancing and plan adherence
    • Leverage SQL/Python to conduct root cause analysis and data-driven experimentation at scale, translating findings into actionable recommendations for senior leadership
    • Develop metrics, early-warning frameworks, and reporting that flag speed risk proactively-contributing to Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) at the Director/VP level
    • Drive continuous improvement by creating scalable solutions that deliver a richer end-to-end customer experience while balancing cost

    A day in the life

    This role blends strategic modeling with tactical execution. Cross-functional collaboration is central to your success-you"ll build relationships across planning, design, transportation, and fulfillment teams to align on network priorities and drive outcomes. You will lead weekly and monthly program updates, contribute to Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), and serve as the connective tissue between analytics insights and operational decisions. Every day, you"re turning complex network data into concise narratives that enable leadership to act decisively-driving continuous improvement and better customer outcomes across Amazon"s Outbound network.

    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.
