About AWS Infrastructure Services

AWS Infrastructure Services designs, plans, delivers, and operates all AWS global infrastructure - we"re the team that keeps the cloud running. We support every AWS data center and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that give our customers continuous access to the innovation they depend on. With thousands of variables impacting our supply chain, we tackle some of the most complex logistics challenges at scale - and we"re looking for talented people who want to help solve them.

You"ll join a diverse team of engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, and operations leaders. You"ll partner across AWS to deliver the highest standards of safety and security while enabling seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost. And you"ll be part of an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to drive them to completion.

About the Role

The AWS Cloud Logistics team is looking for a results-oriented Supply Chain Manager to lead warehouse and transportation operations at our Florence, KY hub. You will own the end-to-end flow of materials in and out of the facility - ensuring product moves on time to support manufacturing builds and data center deployments.

A critical component of this role is direct management of our 3PL partner, including performance accountability, KPI governance, and continuous improvement. You"ll think strategically about how to optimize processes, reduce cost, and build a more resilient supply chain - while executing tactically to meet daily operational demands.

What You"ll Do

Own warehouse and transportation operations, ensuring on-time material flow to manufacturing and data center sites

Manage and hold accountable our 3PL vendor partner - driving KPI adherence, SLA performance, and operational excellence

Identify and eliminate root causes of operational defects through data-driven problem solving

Lead process improvement and standardization initiatives from concept through sustainable implementation

Analyze complex data sets to generate actionable insights that inform strategic decisions

Collaborate with and influence cross-functional teams and external partners to drive alignment and results

This Role Is a Fit If You:

Have deep expertise in both warehouse and transportation operations - you understand the full supply chain, not just one piece

Are a data-driven operator who can:

Turn complex data into clear, actionable business recommendations

Build advanced Excel models and compelling visualizations with confidence

Use metrics to tell a story and drive accountability

Bring proven experience managing 3PL vendors - including performance management, contract governance, and building productive partnerships

Are a self-starter who takes ownership, makes decisions independently, and drives initiatives to completion without waiting to be told what"s next

Have a track record of leading continuous improvement projects that deliver measurable, sustainable results

Thrive managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment

Communicate clearly and effectively - whether presenting to leadership, influencing partners, or aligning a team around a plan

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

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.
