    Job Description

    Do you enjoy breaking down and solving complex problems for the benefit of a quickly expanding customer base, focusing first on our customer and working backwards? If so, the Amazon supply chain team is looking for an experienced leader with a strong record of achieving results, to create and execute the worldwide supply chain by working closely with our retail and operations partners across the globe in order to effectively manage volume flows and fullness for our fulfillment centers and delivery stations.

    Amazon obsesses over customers by offering a white glove service where we deliver TVs and other items such as furniture to customers' homes. AMXL was launched in September of 2018 to support Amazon's expansion into the >$600B Heavy/Bulky product market share segment. The NA AMXL Supply Chain Execution team (SCE) plays the leading role in the growth and profitability of our network. We are responsible for calibrating our capacity to expected demand, overseeing the health of our end-to-end supply chain, and making structural changes to our network (inbound and outbound connectivity, critical pull times (CPTs), new ship methods, use of 3P carriers, availability of delivery slots, Delivery Service Provider (DSP) and associate hiring, etc.) to meet our cost, growth, and quality goals. Over the last five years, AMXL has become arguably the best Heavy Bulky fulfillment and delivery provider in the world with in terms of Delivery Estimate Accuracy, costs, and fewer customer contacts. Our NA network is currently supporting over $9B in gross merchandise sales (GMS), with expectations of double-digit % growth over the next three years.

    Key job responsibilities

    The S&OP team is responsible for aligning and optimizing the FC network plan for labor and capacity constraints, ideal placement and buy volumes, plan accuracy, and improve tools to automate the planning process. Each week, our team provides an updated short to medium term aggregate fulfillment plan (up to 17 weeks) for the AMXL fulfillment network (US). The plan reflects the projected fulfillment needs of the Retail/FBA teams and partners, and includes all inbound and outbound flows across the network. FC leadership uses this plan in making decisions on full-time and temporary labor as well as in supporting other decisions within the FC network.

    In this role, you will be:

    • Managing multiple initiatives and projects
    • Writing strategy documents that clearly communicate supply chain vision to senior leadership
    • Working with Retail, Finance and Operations partners towards defining supply chain and operating models
    • Forming cross-functional project teams, planning, organizing, managing, and executing complex projects across multiple organizations and stakeholders
    • Deep diving complex models and analyzing trade off decisions to ensure the best outcome for our customers
    • Formulating and owning volume projections and presenting to senior leadership

    A day in the life

    The main task for the S&OP team is to gather Retail/FBA and partner inbound and outbound inventory flow forecasts on weekly basis and turn the forecast into an operational plan. Once a plan is published each Wednesday, the S&OP team then tracks the execution against the plan and provides metrics to retail, ops leadership and the FCs as to performance against the plan. When large variations to the plan are detected, the team will then surface this to the relevant teams responsible and make adjustments when variability becomes too high for the FCs to operationalize.

    Amazon offers a full range of benefits that support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and their children. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment.

    The benefits that generally apply to regular, full-time employees include:

    • Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
    • Maternity and Parental Leave Options
    • Paid Time Off (PTO)
    • 401(k) Plan

    If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we"d still love to hear from you!

    At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. If you're passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply!

    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.

    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.
