About The Position

AWS Infrastructure Services Supply Chain is seeking a supply chain professional
to function as the end-to-end supply owner of our archive storage hardware
platforms. In this role, you will build the supply strategy that ensures we can
reliably deliver the capacity needed to enable the lowest cost and highest
performance archive in the cloud. This role is predominately focused on the
assurance of supply, but success also requires the ability to manage commercial
aspects of a complex and multi-tiered supply chain.

You’ll join a diverse team of supply chain specialists, engineers (software,
hardware and network), security experts, operations managers, and other vital
roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest
standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at
the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive
culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Our organization, AWS Infrastructure Services, owns the design, planning,
delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re
the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all
the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our
customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the
most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply
chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

The successful candidate must be a self-starter who is comfortable with
ambiguity, has high attention to detail, and a proven ability to work in a
fast-paced and ever-changing environment. Candidates must have excellent
analytical capabilities, program management experience, be comfortable diving
deep into data, have strong writing skills, lead executive-level reviews, and
effectively influence decisions at all levels of the company.

The ideal candidate will have familiarity with at-scale hardware supply
mechanisms, preferably related to server, storage or networking platforms.
