A day in the life
The Amazon Leo team is looking for a Senior Supply Chain Manager to support business and engineering stakeholders by ensuring ground infrastructure equipment are delivered on time by the supply base. This will require the Supply Chain Manager to work closely with the planning and sourcing functions as well as the supply base to understand and resolve any sub-tier supply constraints, production constraints, and new schedule developments.
The Senior Supply Chain Manager will develop supplier’s performance metrics to track day-to-day supply chain operations. Additionally, the Senior Supply Chain Manager will work with engineering customers to identify emergent demand for new product development and ensure the supply base has sufficient capacity to support both planned production and emergent development work.
