A typical day in an Amazon External role can involve coordinating with third-party vendors or partners, analyzing performance metrics, resolving supply chain issues, and ensuring that service level agreements are met. You’ll regularly communicate and negotiate with external partners while also working closely with internal Amazon teams such as procurement, operations, and finance to align business goals. Expect to attend cross-functional meetings, manage project timelines, and address challenges as they arise. This collaborative work environment provides exposure to multiple business units and can offer opportunities for professional development and advancement across Amazon’s expansive network.

To succeed as an Amazon External (often referencing roles like External Vendor Manager or External Logistics Coordinator), strong analytical abilities, business acumen, and experience in vendor or client management are fundamental, commonly supported by a relevant bachelor’s degree. Familiarity with data analysis tools, Amazon’s proprietary platforms, supply chain management software, and possibly certifications in project management or logistics are beneficial. Exceptional interpersonal communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills help candidates build and maintain productive external partnerships. These competencies are essential for efficiently managing relationships with third-party vendors or partners integral to Amazon’s operations and growth.

- Build APIs and platform capabilities that enable AI agents and automated systems to interact with source control safely and at scale.
- Drive operational excellence - own on-call, reduce operational toil through automation, and contribute to our AI-native operations approach.
- Collaborate with engineers across ASBX to deliver a unified, secure developer experience across all source control platforms.
- Solve hard distributed systems problems - monorepo scaling, high-throughput git operations, cross-platform consistency, and performance at Amazon scale.
- Contribute to technical design, code reviews, and mentoring of junior engineers.
