Location: Sunnyvale, CA

Estimated salary: $113,650
Range: $85,800 - $141,500


Description

As a Supply Chain Lead within the Smart TDR (STDR) Program, you will own end-to-end supply chain planning and execution for Amazon's Smart Trailer Dock and Retrieval technology deployment across the NA fulfillment network. You will have a holistic view of material procurement, vendor operations, and installation logistics across NASC, DC, and CH networks — and be integral in driving large-scale initiatives in material cost optimization, vendor management, PO reconciliation, and installation capacity planning. With a deployment target spanning thousands of doors across multiple networks and fiscal years, there will rarely be a perfect solution — it will be up to you to make data-driven decisions and manage complex vendor and cross-functional stakeholder relationships while planning and executing within a rapidly evolving program.

The Supply Chain Lead will work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment — coordinating across hardware engineering, installation vendors, field operations, finance, and procurement teams — and communicate business conditions and program decisions effectively across multiple levels, from vendor field technicians to Amazon Directors and VPs. In this role, you will seek out supply chain gaps, dive deep into PO and invoice data, earn trust of partner teams, and deliver results that influence program-level financial outcomes. This role blends short-term execution (weekly install schedules, PO tracking, vendor invoicing) with long-term strategic planning (cost-per-door optimization, vendor negotiation strategy, surplus disposition), requiring quick decision-making with incomplete data while also thinking big about the network-wide deployment roadmap. The end goal is to answer the question: how do we deploy STDR technology across Amazon's network faster, at lower cost per door, with zero material waste, and without impacting site operations.
