AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) 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 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.
This role leads supply management for interconnect or EE components. The ideal candidate will deliver operational excellence with a focus on hardware demand/supply optimization.

3. Spot Market Buy Identify and evaluate spot market opportunities to bridge supply gaps; maintain a vetted network of authorized brokers and enforce compliance with quality and authenticity standards; define governance processes including approval thresholds and traceability requirements; track cost premiums and risk exposure while analyzing market dynamics to proactively position before shortages materialize.
4. Lead Time Reduction Analyze end-to-end lead time drivers — including raw material pre-positioning, line balance, and manufacturing process optimization — to structurally reduce effective lead times; hub/consignment arrangements.
5. Travel Up to 50% on site in suppliers’ international locations.
