Amazon’s Supply Chain Managers play a central role in our global business. They keep our complex, European grocery and highly perishable supply chains working seamlessly and efficiently. As a Supply Chain Manager (SCM), you will work closely with multiple stakeholders across Amazon, from Operational teams who are fulfilling customer orders, to Retail teams and everything in between. You’ll help us optimise our supply chains to make our customer experience even better and our business more energy and cost efficient.
Key job responsibilities
- Define our Demand Planning strategy in 5 European countries (UK, IT, ES, DE, FR), across our Fresh Online, Sub-Same-Day-Grocery and Amazon Now (Quick Commerce) Grocery banners.
- Analyse and interpret data to deeply understand regional customer demand patterns and improve demand planning accuracy, helping the business drive efficiency across our end-to-end supply chain (from Inbound to Customer Outbound).
- Partner with ground Operations, Last Mile Delivery and Business teams, incorporating their inputs into our forecasting routine.
- Align complex Demand Planning strategies with Snr Leadership and financial partners.
A day in the life
Being a Supply Chain Manager for Amazon involves lots of problem solving. You’ll work with a number of teams to navigate challenges as and when situations impact our network. You’ll spend time resolving temporary issues and looking at the bigger picture to drive Amazon towards achieving new objectives. This role is both proactive and reactive, and you’ll have the opportunity to shape demand planning strategies for our ever growing groceries business.
As a Supply Chain Manager leading our S&OP vertical, you’ll need to help with both tactical and strategic work. No two days will be the same. You might spend Monday modelling demand scenarios for a new Amazon Fresh dark store launch, and Tuesday partnering with Last Mile Ops to resolve a resource capacity gap impacting our customer delivery speeds, across three International regions. Having so much variety in your role means you’ll be able to learn something new every day.
This role will be carried out from our corporate location in London (LHR16 UK).
