Supply Chain Manager 2 - Technology Materials Planning

Description

The OpsTech Solutions - Supply Chain (OTS-SC) team plays a critical role in supporting Amazon's Worldwide (WW) Stores business by overseeing planning, purchasing, procuring, provisioning, assembling, shipping, deploying, and managing IT equipment. This team is responsible for facilitating new site launches, retrofits, expansions, relocations, colocations, decommissions, customer programs, and lifecycle programs.

Within this dynamic environment, the Supply Chain Mgr will play a crucial role for executing integrated planning activities across demand planning, supply planning, and production scheduling. The role requires hands-on ownership of planning processes to ensure equipment is available and deployed on time, in full (OTIF), and in alignment with evolving business needs.

The ideal candidate brings a strong mix of supply chain expertise, data fluency, and technical acumen. This includes leveraging AI/ML models to enhance forecast accuracy and optimize planning decisions, while driving process automation and systems integration at scale. Acting as a cross-functional bridge between business, operations, and technical teams, the Supply Chain Mgr will play a pivotal role in shaping how OTS-SC anticipates and meets demand with speed, precision, and agility.
