DESCRIPTION

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a highly reliable, scalable, and low-cost cloud platform that powers thousands of businesses in over 190 countries. AWS’ Infrastructure Supply Chain & Procurement (ISCaP) organization works to deliver 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!
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a dynamic, growing business unit within Amazon.com that provides a broad set of infrastructure services including computing power, storage options, networking and databases available on demand. We are the leader in cloud computing and our pioneers are embracing innovation, building the future, and making history! The Infrastructure team provides AWS and Amazon.com with the compute, network and data center capacity that are the foundations of the retail and cloud business.

As a Supply Chain Manager, you will be responsible for the creation and processing of Purchase Requisitions aligned to pre-defined SLAs, support IPS-Procurement implementing sourcing strategies and collaborate with internal business partners and suppliers to reduce risks and costs for Amazon.

Additionally, you will drive results through the management of competitive bidding processes and analyze data and market trends in support of the category managers.

Also, you must have a demonstrated track record of working multiple projects and supporting their completion to meet business objectives. It will be critical to embrace and model Amazon’s Leadership Principles and have an entrepreneurial spirit with a “get it done” mentality.
