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 partner 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.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a highly reliable, scalable, and low-cost
cloud platform that powers thousands of businesses in over 190 countries. AWS'

cutting-edge solutions to source, build and maintain our socially responsible
data center supply chains. We are a team of highly-motivated, engaged, and
responsive professionals who enable the core sustainable infrastructure of AWS.
Come join our team and be a part of history as we deliver results for the
largest cloud services company on Earth!

The successful candidate must be a self-starter comfortable with ambiguity, with
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 communicate
effectively.

The ideal candidate will not only raise the bar on driving schedules and deep
diving into data, but is a person who actively participates with a strong
curiosity to understand the business end-to-end, and has a track record of using
data to influence decision makers.

This is a service-facing role, meaning you will be the dedicated supply chain
owner for a specific AWS service — the single source of truth for supply commits
and supportability against the S&OP demand plan. You are accountable for
ensuring supply is available at the right place and right time, and for driving
the actions needed to close gaps, hold teams accountable to the supply commit,
and continuously improve commits to meet demand needs.

Our environment is fast-paced and requires someone who gets results and is
comfortable working with tight deadlines and changing priorities.

Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred
qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates
to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path,
or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted
cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating —
that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies
trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the
expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of
our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home,
there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led
affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our
differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our
Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity)
conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
