About The Position

As a Supply Chain Manager in the Amazon Transportation Services Less Than Truckload (LTL) and Field Transportation Execution (FTE) team, this role leverages Area Manager, Operations Manager, Site Leader, and Regional Director partnerships across North American Sort Center (NASC) regions to standardize dispatch operations, improve processes, and reduce transportation cost. Supply Chain Managers III leverage corporate and operations stakeholder relationships to solve the operational and financial opportunities across the full North American Sort Center outbound transportation network — including Linehaul (LH), which encompasses Sort Center-to-Sort Center, Sort Center-to-Amazon Last Mile, and other final mile business units, as well as the USPS Destination Delivery Unit (DDU) program. FTE is positioned to strategically operate with autonomy to solve complex problems and simplify processes using innovation to improve safety, reduce cost, and streamline service across all outbound arcs. On average, a FTE SCM oversees 5 to 10 sites and directly influences the speed and accuracy of outbound transportation execution across multiple arcs. Specifically, FTE Supply Chain Managers monitor site-level performance and actively engage with site and regional stakeholders to drive improvement across a variety of metrics, with a core focus on maximizing container and truck fill rate, reducing wasted trailer space, and coordinating with operational and program partners to identify and reduce non-controllable defects at the site level. Additionally, a FTE Supply Chain Manager is expected to mentor and work closely with peers and stakeholder representatives across a range of operational and program teams to drive continuous improvement and deliver against regional fill rate and cost goals.
