Job ID: 2905135 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

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.

The AIS-SC Networking Silicon team is looking for a results-oriented individual to own supply management, analytics, and metrics for Networking silicon. This individual will own the metrics and reporting for supply strategy and relationship with multiple silicon suppliers, interact with Commodity Manager, Global Supply Manager, and Product Lifecycle Manager colleagues to manage performance of ramping up new product platforms, and optimizing results for sustaining platforms. Our Global Supply Managers are (or become) experts in their industries and help drive the explosive growth of AWS.

Key job responsibilities

1. Analyze industry trends and evolving technology to proactively identify supply base opportunities to minimize risk, protect continuity of supply, and utilize industry developments that benefit Amazon
2. Identify and pursue opportunities to leverage and consolidate the supply base using system level tools and techniques
3. Understand forecasting, demand planning, material/supply/inventory planning, and manufacturing processes/capacity to verify supply commitments
4. Manage supply buffers and allocation to shorten lead times and build resiliency into the supply chain without driving excess
5. Drive supplier improvement initiatives to continually lower risk and reduce lead times
6. Influence suppliers' manufacturing processes, technology decisions, and policies in ways that are mutually beneficial and sustainable for both organizations
7. Create and send monthly forecasts, and measure supplier commitments against demand

A day in the life
