The primary objectives of the Global Sourcing team are to ensure adequate MHE Integrator capacity exists to support Amazon’s business requirements at the right cost and to develop and execute strategies that keep the procurement of critical MHE resources, products, and services off the critical path.
Our Global Sourcing team manages the procurement lifecycle of complex projects necessary to support Amazon’s growth and customer commitments. This work includes initial project planning based on Amazon’s Plan of Record (POR), development of sourcing strategies, Capital Expenditure estimates, the solicitation of ROMs & firm pricing proposals, and proposal analysis, review, and acceptance, culminating in issuance of Amazon Purchase Orders (POs) for services. Post-PO, our team serves as a critical resource resolving commercial escalations and supplier issues, partnering closely with GPO’s Supplier Management team and the GES Operations Engineering team.
The nature of this scope requires a Sr. Global Sourcing Manager to work across organizations and influence internal and external stakeholders. Internally, the Sr. Global Sourcing Manager works with stakeholders to drive strategy, enable execution, and identify and mitigate risks. Externally, this role serves as one of the primary supplier-facing roles and is responsible for ensuring Amazon’s policies are adhered to and interests are achieved.
This role is expected to operate both at the tactical and strategic level.
This role can be located in Seattle/Bellevue (WA), Irvine, San Francisco/San Jose (CA), Phoenix/Tempe (AZ), Nashville (TN), Austin/Houston (TX), Arlington (VA), Washington DC.
