Job description

Job ID: 10514178 | 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 technical infrastructure program managers, software engineers, data specialists, supply chain specialists, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for planning and execution 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.

AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) designs, delivers, and operates the global data-center fleet that powers every AWS service. Our servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling assets span more than 245 countries and territories. We tackle some of the world's most complex supply-chain problems so our customers can innovate without limits.

The Senior S&OP Planner supports the AIS Demand & S&OP team inside the CDSA (Capacity Delivery, Supportability & Analytics) organization. You will contribute to the 13-to-103-week server-material Demand Plan of Record (POR) and the 0-to-10-year data-center capacity POR. Your charter is to help keep demand, supply, power, and financial plans in lock-step while building the automation and mechanisms that let AWS scale its GenAI and Core infrastructure faster, cheaper, and more sustainably. Success requires strong analytical judgment, a builder's mindset, and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams—from front-line planners to senior leadership.

Key job responsibilities

• Support the global S&OP cycle- Execute and improve the end-to-end, monthly/quarterly cadence that aligns AWS demand signals with supply, power, and capital plans.
• Deliver a trusted demand signal- Contribute to a single source of truth that reconciles financial plans, sales & growth outlooks, NPI roadmaps, transition ramps, and prior POR commitments.
• Prepare executive planning forums- Develop materials that frame one-way vs. two-way-door decisions, articulate trade-offs, and support leadership alignment across AIS, EC2, S3, EBS, Finance, and Energy.
• Support planning systems- Partner with software teams in automating demand-, supply-, and scenario-planning workflows (e.g., Connect, o9, Infor, Manhattan); maintain interim manual mechanisms until automation is in place.
• Develop decision frameworks- Build constrained-planning models that surface risks and levers under power, permitting, or component shortages.
• Measure what matters- Maintain KPIs and dashboards that quantify forecast accuracy, inventory turns, build-plan adherence, and capacity-delivery cycle time.
• Drive continuous improvement- Identify and execute digital-transformation initiatives that simplify processes, eliminate waste, and raise planning maturity across AIS.
