Job description

Delivering on Amazon's customer promise depends on having the right vehicles, in the right place, at the right cost. The fleet business powering last mile operations across EU and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) is scaling rapidly into new vehicle types and new geographies, and the Sourcing team needs a Senior Sourcing Manager to help keep pace. In this 12-month fixed-term role, you will own sourcing for assigned fleet categories across both branded (OEM) and variable (rental) last mile fleet — identifying supply options, negotiating terms, and securing committed capacity. On the branded side, you will lead OEM engagement for the MENA region, building the commercial case to secure vehicle capacity. On the rental side, you will grow the supplier portfolio through the Fleet Exchange Marketplace, onboarding new suppliers across EU with a particular focus on southern European markets. If you are a self-starter who enjoys supplier negotiations, data-backed analysis, and working in a business that moves fast, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities

• Own end-to-end sourcing for assigned EU/MENA fleet categories, from identifying supply options to negotiating terms and securing committed capacity across both branded and variable (rental) last mile fleet.
• Lead OEM engagement for the MENA region, preparing commercial cases and running supplier discussions to secure vehicle capacity for Amazon last mile operations.

A day in the life

You begin by reviewing supplier pipeline data and checking progress on open negotiations. Mid-morning, you join a call with an OEM partner in the MENA region to walk through your commercial proposal and address their questions. After lunch, you shift focus to the Fleet Exchange Marketplace, following up with a prospective rental supplier in Italy to move them through onboarding. Later, you pull together a sourcing recommendation for leadership, pressure-testing your assumptions with a colleague from the capacity planning team before finalizing.

Our closest partners include capacity and fleet planning, supply chain, vehicle engineering, and electrification. We are preparing the fleet model for the next generation of transportation — new vehicle form factors, micromobility, and expansion into new markets — and we are looking for people who want to help build that future.
