As part of the AGL Supply Chain organization, the Grocery Distribution Center (DC) supply chain team is looking for an experienced Supply Chain Manager to continue growing and improving our grocery DC supply chain.
Amazon's grocery offerings are designed to get customers what they want as quickly as possible whether customers are shopping in our grocery stores or ordering online to their doorstep. With ultra-fast delivery becoming increasingly important for customers, DCs represent a critical link in the supply chain to enable low-cost sourcing, storage and replenishment of merchandise to our fulfillment center and physical stores network. Our mission is to support the scalable growth of ultra-fast delivery to our customers while meeting instock, quality and selection availability goals. If this mission and the challenge of building a new supply chain in an innovative, fun and high-growth environment is exciting to you, then we would love to talk to you!
The Supply Chain Manager will own regional execution of the DC to fulfillment center supply chain and be responsible for critical metrics including DC instock, DC to store transportation cost, and DC capacity utilization. You will partner closely with other Amazon teams such as Amazon Grocery Retail, DC Operations, technology partners and Finance in order to delight customers and meet our goals. We will also look to you for evaluation and implementation of new processes and execution technology products that will improve our supply chain and scale our operation for future growth.
This role can be located in any of the following corporate office locations: Seattle (WA), Nashville (TN), Santa Monica (CA), Irvine (CA), or Arlington (VA).
Key job responsibilities

- Work with program managers, business leaders and executive teams to communicate and impact critical business initiatives.
- Engage other Amazon business units globally to share best practices and improve end to end outcomes for Amazon customers.
