We need a Network Design manager to run complex and cross functional supply chain projects. This role is a part of the centralized supply chain planning function at Amazon India. The role is very much like an internal consulting role where the incumbent will drive large high impact projects in supply chain. These projects will typically involve designing and building complex new sites, driving technology solutions, driving large cost reduction or speed improvement initiatives, launching exciting new supply chain models.
Above all, we expect Network design managers to be single threaded owners for their initiatives. This is a high ownership position where you directly control your destiny.
Network Design managers will be measured on the impact of their project. Depending on the project, clear financial or other impact goals will be set forth. It is the Network Design manager's responsibility to ensure they drive the program towards achieving those goals.
