Are you ready to define supply chain strategy for one of Amazon's most seasonally dynamic and operationally complex categories? Amazon is seeking a Senior Supply Chain Manager to lead the end to end supply chain roadmap for our Lawn & Garden and Tools business. In this high visibility role, you will own the supply chain strategy for our most strategic vendor partners, partnering with Central Supply Chain, Operations, and Technology teams to design and scale improvements that extend beyond your category. You will use and enhance AI powered tools and workflows to drive faster, more accurate decision making, and actively experiment with how AI can reshape supply chain operations.

You will build deep strategic relationships with retail vendors, influence cross organizational teams, communicate insights and recommendations to senior leadership, and mentor supply chain managers on your team. You will balance tactical execution with strategic planning in a fast paced environment, bringing strong cross functional communication skills and the ability to define approaches uniquely tailored to the seasonal dynamics of our business. This role combines P&L ownership, vendor strategy leadership, AI driven automation, and cross functional influence for someone who thrives in ambiguity and is energized by driving operational excellence at the intersection of supply chain operations and innovation.

• Define and own the end to end supply chain strategy for Lawn & Garden and Tools, developing inventory sourcing approaches for our most strategic vendor that account for seasonal complexity, cost targets, and customer availability goals unique to the category.
• Partner with Central Supply Chain, Operations, and Technology teams to identify, design, and implement supply chain improvements that scale across and beyond Lawn & Garden and Tools, driving operational excellence and influencing adoption through clear communication and stakeholder alignment.
• Use and enhance AI powered tools and automated workflows in partnership with product managers and tech teams, improving how the business makes faster and more accurate supply chain decisions.
• Communicate supply chain performance, insights, and strategic recommendations to senior leadership and cross functional partners, translating complex data into clear narratives that drive alignment and action.
• Build deep, strategic relationships with retail vendors, influencing their supply chain approach and collaborating on joint initiatives to improve lead times, confirmation rates, inventory health, and overall performance.
• Serve as a subject matter expert in supply chain programs and initiatives that impact beyond Lawn & Garden and Tools, mentoring and coaching team members while raising the bar on best practices across the broader organization.

After lunch, you might join a call with a strategic vendor to co develop a roadmap for lead time improvements. Throughout the week, you will present insights to Senior Leadership and cross functional teams, and continuously refine the processes that drive your category's performance.
