Procurement Category Manager - Water Infrastructure Services, Data Center Sourcing and Procurement
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
As a Procurement Category Manager, you will create and implement sourcing strategies for the Energy and Water Infrastructure categories and collaborate with internal business partners and suppliers to reduce risks and costs for Amazon. You will develop mechanisms and metrics to hold suppliers accountable for performance and delivery. Additionally, you will drive results through methods that include competitive bidding, negotiating, and analyzing data and market trends for your category. You will also create global Procurement processes and tools to drive innovation across teams.
The ideal candidate thinks long term, drives multiple initiatives, and communicates appropriately and influences customers and suppliers at all levels. You must be collaborative, but also work with significant autonomy. To be successful in this role you must be highly analytical; think strategically and globally; have a sense of urgency to meet customer timelines; exhibit an intense curiosity and learning drive; succeed in a fast-paced environment; engage and influence key stakeholders; and have a high level of customer focus and business judgement. Also, you must have a demonstrated track record of managing multiple projects and driving them to completion to meet business objectives. It will be critical to embrace and model Amazon’s Leadership Principles and have an entrepreneurial spirit with a “get it done” mentality.
Key Job Responsibilities
Responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:
Manage the Water Infrastructure categories within the CAPEX domain across APJC.
Ensure on-time execution of RFPs/tenders across multiple countries from supplier on-boarding, RFx initiation, pre-tender briefings, post-tender interviews and clarifications, proposal evaluations, negotiations, supplier selection till contract award.
Achieve cost savings through bidding, negotiations and strategic initiatives.
Understand customer requirements and analyze category data to establish and implement robust regional procurement category strategies that deliver value to the business.
Understand trends in customers’ needs and concerns across categories and regions to influence customers’ priorities.
Provide in-depth knowledge about the supply market and supplier capabilities, technically and geographically, to the business.
Develop mechanisms and metrics to track supplier performance related to delivery, quality, and cost.
Create supplier scorecards to measure and track supplier performance.
Lead business reviews to discuss best practices and issues and to ultimately improve supplier performance and strengthen business partnerships.
