As the Senior Supply Chain Manager and single-threaded leader for First Mile planning, you will own the full current year inbound and fulfillment plan for North America (NA) AMXL fulfillment centers (XLFC) and inbound cross docks (IXD). You will set how heavy and bulky inventory is placed and flows through the network, build the site and regional volume distributions the fulfillment strategy depends on, and mitigate constraint risks for storage, inbound, and outbound

Your plan ties directly to inventory weeks of cover, transportation capacity, and first and third party carrier strategy, and is committed at the most senior levels of the organization. If you want to own current year first mile strategy and see your plan steer real network decisions, this role is built for you.
Key job responsibilities
- Serve as the single-threaded leader for the North America (US and Canada) AMXL First Mile full-year plan, owning every inbound cross dock and fulfillment center key metric at the weekly and site level from mid term plan through year end, and refresh each quarterly cycle.
- Own the full set of inbound and fulfillment metrics: site and regional volume distributions, ship units, inbound freight, processed receipts, inbound and outbound transfers, on hand inventory, and customer and vendor returns.
- Set inventory placement and inbound flow strategy across inbound cross docks including redistribution nodes for direct imports and third-party seller inventory, and fulfillment centers.
- Surface and mitigate site and regional risk for storage, inbound, and outbound capacity and inventory placement with consideration of weeks of cover, transportation capacity, and carrier strategy.
- Drive leadership alignment to lock challenging yet achievable quarterly commitments and gain approval of the optimal plan, owning the handoff to finance, transportation, and planning teams.
- Invent and simplify planning mechanisms, models, and automation that streamline forecasting, validation, and data transfer across all time horizons.
- Develop plan-over-plan metric bridges and communicate strategy, changes, risks, and trade-offs clearly to senior leadership.
A day in the life
You own the full-year inbound and fulfillment plan for every US and Canada AMXL inbound cross dock and fulfillment center, so you start where strategy and risk meet: reading demand, weeks of cover, and capacity signals to optimize the flow of inventory and mitigate risk related to storage, inbound, or outbound capacity. You shape inventory placement and site-level distributions, partner with science, finance, transportation, and operations to pressure-test inputs, and align leaders on the trade-offs

Across the cycle you lock the commitments that drive carrier and capacity strategy and invent mechanisms that sharpen the next plan.
Amazon offers a full range of benefits that support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and their children. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment.
