How often have you had an opportunity to define the strategic direction for a critical business function within one of the world's most complex logistics networks? If you want to join a fast-paced, innovative team that is reinventing fleet maintenance at scale, this is the place for you.
The Global Fleet and Products organization is seeking a Senior Vendor Strategy Manager to own and drive vendor strategy for our fleet maintenance business supporting Middle Mile and Last Mile assets (tractors, trailers, box trucks, hostlers, and delivery vans). This is a high-impact role where you will define multi-year vendor strategies, design contract frameworks with embedded performance mechanisms, and build the analytical models that inform network-level investment decisions.
You will operate with significant autonomy in an ambiguous, rapidly evolving space — developing new frameworks where limited precedent exists. Success requires the ability to influence VP-level leaders, lead complex multi-stakeholder negotiations, and build repeatable mechanisms that scale across a diverse vendor portfolio.
You will interface with C-Suite executives at vendors ranging from startups to industry leaders, and earn trust across Amazon teams including finance, legal, operations, and technology to deliver measurable outcomes against uptime, cost, and quality targets.
The ideal candidate combines deep strategic sourcing expertise with a bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and a track record of delivering structural cost improvements while raising the performance bar across a vendor ecosystem.
Develop internal and external financial views around volumes, labor rates, service speed and other key requirements which will drive cost.
Build effective stakeholder and internal customer relationships, understanding budgetary targets and influencing spend decisions, ensuring a high service levels, and adding value in other categories
Measure actual vs planned savings; as savings trends are identified, own action plans to meet goals and develop solutions
