Head of Fleet Supply Planning Transformation, Fleet Planning Sector: Distribution and Warehouse, Technology Role: Senior Manager Contract Type: Permanent Hours: Full Time DESCRIPTION At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. One customer experience that we're constantly looking to take to a new level is how we fulfill and deliver their orders. Our goal is to exceed the expectations of all our customers by ensuring that their orders, no matter how large or small, are delivered where and when they need them, as quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively as possible. To meet this goal, Amazon is continually striving to innovate and provide best-in-class service levels through the introduction of pioneering new products and services in the last mile delivery space. Do you want to be part of a rapidly scaling Amazon organization with multiple business and operational challenges? Do you want to be in the heart of the supply chain for one of the most critical and capital-intensive resources for Amazon Logistics? We are looking for a self-starter Principal who excels at internal stakeholder management and external third-party management to join the EU AMZL Global Fleet Product, Fleet Planning team. Key Job Responsibilities As Head of Fleet Supply Planning Transformation, you will lead the supply planning for Last Mile Rentals, a revolutionary program aimed to transform from the current 'push' fleet planning model, based on individual DSP (Delivery Service Partner) demand forecasts and allocation of capacity to DSPs, to a 'pull' model based on a shared pool of vans available to solve inter-period (DSP peak variability), intra-week demand variability, and non-controllable Vehicle Off Road (VOR) contingencies. The Principal, LMR Supply Planning, leverages their expertise and high judgment to design the right mechanisms to meet strategic goals in relation to LMR fleet scale with efficiency. Together with Fleet Demand and Fleet Finance, it answers the question: "What is the right amount of the idle Armada or other sources (e.g., rentals) to be transferred into LMR, best trade-off between utilization and delivery partner experience?" by periodically assessing the demand variability, the planning accuracy, and critically reviewing inputs from diverse (internal/external) partner organizations. They conduct periodic reviews with senior stakeholders for the approval of new transfer orders raised by the new demand plans and for Peak readiness, contributing to CAPEX/OPEX decisions. Key to success is their ability to anticipate risks (e.g., supply shortages vs financial exposure) and to design Supply Chain solutions (e.g., rent vs lease source, order batch consolidation) that will be implemented directly by GFP (cross-country transfer, extended leasing, etc.). Top Challenges for the Role - To plan and develop a sustainable LMR supply base that aims to remove agility (lead time of executing pick up, deployment, return) and cost as scale blockers. - To trade-off among different stakeholders (Sr Mgr / Director level) with very diverse and conflicting goals. The degree of ambiguity for this initiative is high ('can we afford to defleet, refurbish and infleet to LMR according to current end-to-end cycle time?) and the foundational capacity yet to be built. - To create mechanisms for the governance of the approvals of the transfer orders to replenish LMR pools, after we roll out to all countries (BAU). BASIC QUALIFICATIONS - Bachelor's degree - Experience in the fleet, supply chain, or logistics industry - Experience in business ownership, controlling, and business analysis - A proven track record of creating effective reporting and data analysis - Strong analytical skills combined with proficiency in Excel - Experience influencing and interacting with cross-functional teams - Ability to handle and prioritize when presented with a high volume of engagements PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - SQL proficiency - Understanding of fleet management and related KPIs Amazon is an equal opportunities employer.
