    Job Description

    Do you want to help build and optimize an air transportation network to delight millions of Amazon customers? Are you passionate about planes, trucks, eCommerce logistics, or solving complex challenges with data? We're looking for a Supply Chain Manager to support our rapidly evolving Amazon Air (AIR) business, which currently operates an air cargo network using a fleet of Boeing 737, Boeing 767, and Airbus A330 aircraft across more than 50 airports in the US and Canada.

    The Supply Chain Manager II, AIR Connectivity will be responsible for improving the logic and methodologies of AIR's package flow and connectivity planning through data analysis, modeling, and collaboration with internal and external stakeholders. The individual will work closely with end users making key business decisions and will help optimize the operation contributing to driving down total cost while improving customer speed and delivery accuracy within the transportation network.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Design and model supply chain solutions by analyzing forecasting, demand planning, material planning, and manufacturing processes to verify supply commitments and meet cost and service targets.
    • Identify process gaps through data analysis and implement improvement projects that increase operational efficiency, reduce defects, and strengthen supply chain performance.
    • Collaborate with cross-functional partner teams and external stakeholders to formulate solutions for operational problems, serving as a primary escalation point to unblock obstacles and mitigate risks.
    • Develop and refine Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and measurement systems to ensure decisions are data-driven, processes are auditable, and work quality is consistently measurable.
    • Leverage and guide the development of technology and automation solutions - including generative AI tools where appropriate - to drive more optimal and more automated decision-making across the supply chain.

    A day in the life

    Your day begins by reviewing operational metrics and diving into data to understand supply chain trends and identify emerging issues. You connect with partner teams to align on priorities, troubleshoot material shortages or discrepancies, and refine the processes that keep goods flowing smoothly. You may spend part of your afternoon building a new reporting mechanism with analytics partners or evaluating trade-offs between suppliers on cost and service. You regularly present findings and mitigation plans during business reviews, translating complex data into clear recommendations for leadership.

    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.
