Description

As a Supply Chain Manager within the Returns Network S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning), you will have the opportunity to create and improve upon existing forecasting methodologies, drive major supply chain decision making, influence network stakeholders, and lead the expansion of our network. You will have a holistic view of supply and demand within the Amazon Returns network and be an integral part in creating and implementing large scale strategic initiatives in inventory optimization, transportation cost, labor capacity management and more – all with the goal of better serving our customers.

This role is a blend of short-term execution and long-term strategic planning, that requires quick decision-making, with incomplete data, while also thinking big and influencing the long-term direction of the network. The end goal of this role is to answer the question of how we can fulfill more products to our customers in a safer, faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective manner.
