Procurement Category Manager - Bldg Controls & Comissioning, AWS Data Center Sourcing & Procurement, AWS DC Construction

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.

As a Procurement Category Manager, you will create Vendor qualifications, request for proposals, data analysis, vendor performance dashboards for Building Controls and Commissioning categories. You will build procurement processes and tools to help identify waste and enable innovation across teams. The ideal candidate must be collaborative, but also work with autonomy. To be successful in this role you must be highly analytical;

think strategically; have a sense of urgency to meet customer timelines; exhibit curiosity and learning drive, succeed in a fast-paced environment; engage key stakeholders where needed; and have a high level of customer 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 with a “get it done” mentality.
