SOC 1243 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 36% sure that is the right code. Amazon is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 1242 (Managers in storage and warehousing), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Amazon what the duties actually are.
About the role
Description
Amazon's offsite yard program is growing fast, and we need a Supply Chain Manager to help us keep pace. As trailer fleet volumes and site capacity demands increase, our team secures and operates temporary offsite yards that give fulfillment and sort center operations the extra space they need. In this role, you will manage vendor relationships, drive safety and quality improvements, reduce trailer dwell times, and ensure legal compliance across a growing portfolio of offsite locations. You will partner with procurement, site operations, and regional leadership to design lean processes and apply Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools that make the work faster and smarter. If you are a resourceful problem-solver who enjoys balancing hands-on execution with program-level thinking, this is your opportunity to make a visible impact at Amazon.
Key job responsibilities
You start the morning checking yard utilization dashboards and flagging any capacity shortfalls that need immediate action. Mid-morning, you join a call with a vendor partner to review safety metrics and align on corrective actions. After lunch, you collaborate with procurement on a new lease proposal, then spend time refining a process improvement using GenAI to speed up reporting. You close the day syncing with site operations leads to confirm upcoming yard needs and preparing your weekly review materials.
