Supply Chain Manager, AMXL EU
DESCRIPTION
Amazon’s Supply Chain Managers play a central role in our global business. They keep our complex, international supply chains working seamlessly and efficiently. As a Supply Chain Manager (SCM), you will work closely with multiple stakeholders across Amazon, from Operational teams who are fulfilling customer orders to Retail teams and everything in between. You’ll help us optimise our supply chains to make our customer experience even better and our business more energy and cost efficient.
Key job responsibilities
- Define and implement supply chain and operating models for various businesses
- Analyze and interpret data to improve efficiency across supply chains and multiple operations
- Partner with teams to advise on and manage operational challenges
- Support the planning and organization of complex projects
- Optimize processes and enhance overall efficiency
- Drive strategic decisions with our Operational site management, Retail, Transportation partners, and several support teams to drive efficiency in SC planning and execution
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. This role is both proactive and reactive, and you’ll have the opportunity to help forecast and plan for new projects.
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. You could spend one day helping to define our supply chain and operating models and the next assisting with a site’s resource plan for a busy period. Having so much variety in your role means you’ll be able to learn something new every day.
This role is based at one of our European headquarters in Luxembourg. There may be flexibility to choose your location in our other AMXL EU Headquarters in BCN, MAD, MUC, LON
About the team
Amazon Extra Large (AMXL) looks after heavy and bulky items like furniture and large home appliances. Our team manages the entire service, from supply chain fulfillment, to delivery and returns.

With a focus on safety, productivity and innovation, we’re changing the way customers buy and receive large goods for the better.
We have ambitious plans to expand our specialist fulfillment centers and delivery stations across the UK and Europe.
