Principal S&OP Planner, Infrastructure Capacity & S&OP Planning

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 technical infrastructure program managers, software engineers, data specialists, supply chain specialists, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for planning and execution 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.

AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) designs, delivers, and operates the global data-center fleet that powers every AWS service. Our servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling assets span in more than 245 countries and territories. We tackle some of the world’s most complex supply-chain problems so our customers can innovate without limits.

The Principal S&OP Planner leads the AIS Demand & S&OP team inside the CDSA (Capacity Delivery, Supportability & Analytics) organization. You will own the 13-to-103-week server-material Demand Plan of Record (POR) and the 0-to-10-year data-center capacity POR. Your charter is to keep demand, supply, power, and financial plans in lock‑step while building the automation and mechanisms that let AWS scale its GenAI and Core infrastructure faster, cheaper, and more sustainably.

Success requires exceptional judgment, a builder’s mindset, and the ability to influence at all levels—from front‑line planners to VP‑ and SVP‑level business owners.

• Own the global S&OP cycle – Drive an end‑to‑end, monthly/quarterly cadence that aligns AWS demand signals with supply, power, and capital plans.

• Deliver a trusted demand signal – Produce a single source of truth that reconciles financial plans, sales & growth outlooks, NPI roadmaps, transition ramps, and prior POR commitments.

• Run executive planning forums – Frame one‑way vs. two‑way‑door decisions, articulate trade‑offs, and secure leadership alignment across AIS, EC2, S3, EBS, Finance, and Energy.

• Architect planning systems – Guide software teams in automating demand, supply, and scenario‑planning workflows (e.g., Connect, o9, Infor, Manhattan); own interim manual mechanisms until automation is in place.

• Build decision frameworks – Develop constrained‑planning models that surface risks and levers under power, permitting, or component shortages.

• Measure what matters – Define KPIs and dashboards that quantify forecast accuracy, inventory turns, build‑plan adherence, and capacity‑delivery cycle time.

• Champion continuous improvement – Sponsor digital‑transformation sprints that simplify processes, eliminate waste, and raise planning maturity across AIS.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, Supply‑Chain, or related quantitative field.

• 10+ years owning roadmap strategy and execution for supply‑chain or cloud‑infrastructure planning.

• Proven planning expertise in demand forecasting, supply optimization, and/or S&OP for high‑growth, capital‑intensive businesses.

• Strong analytical fluency: SQL and advanced Excel (or similar) for scenario modeling and data mining.

• Demonstrated ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to technical and non‑technical executives.

• Manufacturing‑planning pedigree (electronics, CPG, automotive, or similar) and/or top‑tier consulting experience in supply‑chain transformation.

• Hands‑on success implementing enterprise planning suites (Connect, o9, Infor, Manhattan).

• Track record of measurable improvements in forecast accuracy, inventory turns, or capacity‑delivery cycle time.

• Experience governing $100M+ capital budgets and navigating…
