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 drive Amazon towards achieving new objectives.
As a Supply Chain Manager, you’ll need to help with both on-the-ground tasks and more tactical work. No two days will be the same.
