AWS’ Infrastructure Supply Chain & Procurement organization works to deliver solutions to source, build and maintain our socially responsible data center supply chains. We are a team of highly-motivated, engaged, and responsive professionals who enable the core sustainable infrastructure of AWS. Come join our team and be a part of history as we deliver results for the largest cloud services company on Earth! The IPS Procurement Category Management Org is responsible for the procurement of all third party provided services required for the operation of our Data Center infrastructure globally, including Colo and Edge facilities for externally delivered services not provided by the facility owner. The team is responsible for the identification, onboarding and performance management of suppliers as well as developing category strategies, conducting competitive tendering processes, supplier negotiations and the preparation of associated Work Orders. The team is structured into three regions, each led by a regional manager, with each regional team composed of category managers with responsibility for the management of specific areas of spend within the region and a cohort of procurement specialists who support the category managers. The category management approach facilitates a strategic approach to procurement by facilitating in depth market analysis coupled with a cross functional approach to identify supplier and associated contracting options which are focused on meeting the particular needs of the business.
