You are a strong PM with deep experience in the new product development process, and are a seasoned hardware (HW) supply chain expert. We are looking for a candidate with proven program or product management experience, analytical capabilities, strong communications (e.g. persuasive written and verbal) skills, and the tenacity to develop ideas independently and thrive in a fast-paced environment. If this sounds exciting and aligns with your skill set, we would like to meet you.

A day in the life
On an everyday basis as a builder on our team, you have the unique opportunity to understand the growing customers’ requirements to connect teams, processes, and mechanisms, and work backwards to devise hardware solutions with adjacent teams to maintain a highly available supply chain that delights AWS customers. You design and implement processes and mechanisms that both help the team to deliver business impact to the organization in a systemic way, while also helping to raise the bar on high quality standards and operational excellence.
