Procurement Ops Specialist, Data Center Sourcing Procurement

DESCRIPTION

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Data Center Services Procurement (DCSP) supports Data Center Capacity Delivery in obtaining the best services at the lowest costs, and manages the full “Supplier Lifecycle” including Strategic Sourcing and Intake, Onboarding, Solicitations, Spending and Transaction Policy (S&TP) Compliance, Contract management, Supplier Development, and portions of requisitioning and payment operations.

As a Procurement Ops Specialist, you will work closely with the procurement category managers across APAC, in creating and supporting Vendor qualifications, request for proposals, vendor performance dashboards for construction, professional services, engineering and related categories. You will also provide input on procurement processes and tools to help identify waste and enable innovation across teams. The ideal candidate must be collaborative. To be successful in this role, you must be highly analytical; think practically; have a sense of urgency to meet internal customer timelines; exhibit curiosity and learning drive, succeed in a fast-paced environment; engage key stakeholders where needed; and have a high level of focus. Also, you must have a demonstrated track record of managing multiple projects and driving them to completion to meet business objectives. It will be critical to embrace and model Amazon’s Leadership Principles and have an entrepreneurial spirit.
