    Job Description

    We are looking for an analytically driven Supply Chain Manager to own and advance supplier performance programs within the SPIRE team. You will be the single-threaded owner of one or more performance workstreams - such as On-Time In-Full (OTIF) delivery measurement, supplier reporting compliance, or lead time accuracy - and will be responsible for defining program standards, building measurement frameworks, and driving adoption across our global supplier network.

    In this role you will operate with significant ambiguity: scoping problems that don"t yet have established processes, designing scalable solutions, and earning trust with cross-functional partners (Global Materials Management, Planning, Procurement, and suppliers) to implement them. You will independently manage supplier-facing communications, translate complex data into actionable insights for senior leadership, and continuously raise the bar on how we measure and improve supplier performance.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own end-to-end execution of assigned SPIRE performance programs (e.g., OTIF measurement, ASN/EDI compliance, promise date adherence), including goal-setting, stakeholder alignment, and delivery against milestones
    • Design and implement supplier performance metrics frameworks, scorecards, and reporting mechanisms that enable data-driven decision-making at scale
    • Analyze complex supply chain datasets to identify systemic root causes of delivery failures, lead time variability, and compliance gaps; translate findings into prioritized action plans
    • Drive cross-functional alignment with GMM, Planning, Procurement, and technology teams to standardize processes and close performance gaps
    • Manage direct supplier engagement - communicating expectations, reviewing performance data, and facilitating corrective action plans
    • Build and automate recurring reports and dashboards (SQL, Excel, BI tools) that reduce manual effort and improve visibility for stakeholders
    • Document scalable processes, SOPs, and runbooks that enable the team to maintain programs as they grow
    • Identify and escalate emerging risks in the supplier base, proposing mitigation strategies with supporting data

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.

    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

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.
