Description
Are you inspired by invention? Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA? Do you like the idea of seeing how your work impacts the bigger picture? Answer yes to any of these and you'll fit right in here at Amazon Robotics. We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply advances in robotics and software to solve real-world challenges that will transform our customers' experiences in ways we can't even imagine yet.
Amazon Robotics Supply Chain includes Strategic Sourcing, Supply Chain Execution, Logistics, Program Management, Trade Compliance, and other functions that own the sourcing, planning, procurement, and execution capabilities required to deliver robotics solutions across Amazon's global network. The organization partners closely with Design, Manufacturing, Deployment, and other cross-functional teams to support material readiness, program execution, and scalable supply chain operations.
Within this broader organization, the Supply Chain Execution team owns planning, procurement, master data management, and aftermarket spare parts readiness.
We are seeking a Sr. Supply Chain Manager, Process and Systems Enablement to lead the definition and consolidation of Supply Chain Execution requirements for Planning and Procurement processes as Amazon Robotics scales core systems capabilities across ERP, PLM, Supply Chain Planning Systems, and Supplier Collaboration. This role will use data, process analysis, and stakeholder feedback to identify recurring pain points, quantify process gaps, document functional needs, write user stories, and support business cases that can be prioritized and executed through PMO and technology partner teams.
This role will help bring structure to evolving and sometimes undefined processes by aligning stakeholders on future-state Planning and Procurement workflows that can scale across teams and systems. The role will not own system architecture or system integration delivery. Instead, it will own the business-side closure of Supply Chain Execution requirements by driving alignment on process needs, decisions, validation criteria, and implementation readiness in partnership with PMO and technology partner teams.
The ideal candidate has strong supply chain execution experience, understands how ERP, PLM, supply chain planning systems, procurement, and supplier collaboration capabilities support business operations, and can translate operational needs into structured requirements, user stories, process inputs, business cases, and validation criteria.
Key job responsibilities
Lead the definition and consolidation of Supply Chain Execution requirements for Planning and Procurement processes across ERP, PLM, Supply Chain Planning Systems, and Supplier Collaboration initiatives.
Partner with Planning, Procurement, PMO, Product Management, and technology teams to translate operational needs into business requirements, user stories, business rules, and process inputs.
Act as the Planning and Procurement SME in system design sessions and support UAT to validate implemented capabilities against approved requirements.
Drive Supply Chain Execution requirements, decisions, and business readiness to closure through cross-functional coordination.
Analyze operational data, process performance, exception trends, and stakeholder feedback to identify pain points, quantify impact, and prioritize improvements.
Define and maintain key Planning and Procurement process metrics to support business reviews, monitor system adoption, and drive continuous improvement.
Shape scalable future-state workflows from ambiguous or inconsistent current-state processes.
Identify opportunities to reduce manual work through process improvement, automation, AI-enabled workflows, and better system integration.
Communicate requirements, tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations clearly to leadership and partner teams.
A day in the life
Your primary focus will be helping Planning and Procurement teams turn operational challenges into clear process and system improvements. You may spend part of the day reviewing data, process gaps, or feedback from team members to understand where work is manual, inconsistent, or difficult to scale.
You may then meet with planning, procurement, product, program, and technology partners to align on what needs to change, what decisions are required, and how the future process should work. Some days will focus on documenting requirements or user stories. Other days may involve joining design discussions for ERP, PLM, supply chain planning, or supplier collaboration tools to make sure Supply Chain Execution needs are understood and addressed.
As new capabilities move closer to launch, you may help validate that the solution works as intended, support testing, and use process metrics to monitor adoption and identify the next improvement opportunity. Beyond regular process and systems work, this role may also help identify ways to reduce repetitive manual work through automation, AI-enabled workflows, or better system integration.
In this role you will be focused on execution of end-to-end deployment and manage technical ambiguity around integration of workcells in fulfillment centers. On a daily basis you will collaborate with hardware engineering, technical program managers, product managers, construction teams, and internal customers including site maintenance and operations teams, to ensure a safe, on time, high quality product is delivered to the internal customer. You will travel to your project sites, collaborate both virtually and in person, to ensure all business stakeholders are aligned on program status. You will manage the day-to-day project execution, and work on continuous improvement activities to improve deployment execution first pass yield. You will work with senior engineers and your manager to develop technical depth and begin building strategic thinking skills for future growth.
