About The Position

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 of 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.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply
chain specialists, 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.
AWS Supply Chain is seeking a strategic leader to own NPI (New Product
Introduction) roadmap planning and process excellence across AWS's server
platform portfolio. You will be the connective tissue between hardware
engineering, supply chain operations, and business planning. They own
translating technology roadmaps into supply chain strategies and ensuring the
NPI organization is equipped to launch each new generation of server hardware on
time and at scale. This role shapes what we build, when we build it, and how we
improve the way we introduce new products across a rapidly scaling global
infrastructure.
A successful candidate will have deep experience in hardware product planning,
technology roadmap development, and supply chain process design. They will have
a track record of influencing engineering and business leadership on platform
decisions, building scalable NPI frameworks, and driving continuous improvement
across complex, cross-functional organizations.
