Supply chain manager, capacity execution, amxl eu supply chain execution

At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. One customer experience that we're constantly looking to take to a new level is how we fulfil and deliver customer orders. Amazon aims to exceed the expectations of our customers by ensuring that their orders, no matter how large or small, are delivered as quickly, accurately, and as cost effectively as possible.

Amazon's Supply Chain Managers play a central role in our global business. They keep our complex, international supply chains working seamlessly and efficiently. As a Supply Chain Manager in Amazon Extra Large (AMXL) EU, 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.

As AMXL EU Sr. Supply Chain Manager, Capacity Execution, you will be responsible for managing significant operational and service growth across our European operations as well as implementing standardised process and quality for our Amazon two-person / special handling delivery service. To succeed in this role, you need to be comfortable making business decisions in a fast-paced and evolving work environment and partnering with various functional teams and individuals at all levels of the organisation. This role will include a mix of long-term strategic projects and short-term tactical scope. You will bring strong business judgment, deep curiosity about how things work, strong written and oral communication skills, and a passion for creating effective processes and mechanisms that scale.

The role is responsible for the Production Planning, Labour Planning, and Capacity Execution function for AMXL EU, and is located in our Luxembourg Amazon HQ office, with Barcelona corporate offices also available as an option. You will collaborate with and present to senior stakeholders to shape network-level strategic decisions. You will bring an analytical background that enables you to support network planning and demonstrate the ability to think broadly and strategically about operational initiatives. You will experience a wide range of problem-solving situations, requiring extensive use of data collection and analysis, in partnership with teams including fulfilment operations leadership, HR, finance, supply chain, transportation, and global system development.

Key job responsibilities

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Be responsible for Fulfilment Centre, Sort Centre, and Inbound Cross-Dock Labour and Production Planning, Capacity Execution, as well as cost and service optimisation for the EU AMXL network
• Partner with and present to senior leadership, business and finance stakeholders to gather and share data-driven insights
• Support input forecasting using trend analysis and statistical modelling to support decision-making
• Build short, medium, and long-term operational plans to minimise variable costs associated with staffing
• Analyse and solve business problems with a focus on understanding root causes and identifying forward-looking opportunities

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 help Amazon achieve new objectives. This role is both proactive and reactive, and you'll have the opportunity to help forecast and plan for new projects.

As a Supply Chain Manager, you'll need to help with both operational tasks and more tactical work. No two days will be the same. You could spend one day helping to define our supply chain and operating models and the next assisting with a site's resource plan for a busy period. Having so much variety in your role means you'll be able to learn something new every day.

This role is based at one of our European headquarters in Luxembourg, or at our Barcelona corporate offices.
