DESCRIPTION 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.
We are seeking a Manager of Supply Chain Operations to join and lead a team of supply planners and builders. In this role, you will lead a team that plans, coordinates and manages allocations of commodity components across multiple manufacturers, suppliers and datacenters globally.
Key job responsibilities

•Lead and manage a team of 5-7 builders
•Understand forecasting, demand planning, material planning, and manufacturing processes to verify supply commitments
•Work with component suppliers and server manufacturers to analyze, reconcile allocation and monitor changes and cancellations
•Participate in requirements gathering
•Understand the supply chain network and work with various analytics and software development teams, driving automation
•Develop analytical and planning tools and dashboards to track metrics, monitor SLAs, and report findings
•Produce written recommendations and insights for key stakeholders to help shape solution design
