Full Job Description
Amazon is seeking a Software Sourcing Manager for the Technology Sourcing and Infrastructure (TSI) team with a focus on enterprise software sourcing and governance. This role will have high impact and visibility, and is responsible to drive cost-out, mitigate risk, manage key sourcing initiatives, and support software governance and compliance processes. You will develop and maintain strong partnerships with key internal customers and stakeholders across multiple regions - including security, engineering, finance, legal, technology procurement, and various business units – to drive enterprise-tier sourcing strategies, deal execution, vendor management, and technology-related process improvement initiatives (both efficiency and customer experience). You will identify investment and prioritization opportunities, including collaboration on company-wide tool rationalization and consolidation, leveraging emerging technologies, and delivering communications to senior leadership. You are responsible to partner across the TSI organization, and with business units across the enterprise, to define requirements for sourcing needs and establish sourcing and negotiation strategies for complex and strategic software vendors. You will negotiate commercial and legal terms for vendor relationships, including product and payment terms, price protection, termination language, and maintenance/support costs and SLAs. You will manage all aspects of vendor relationships including business performance reviews, escalation support for internal customers (including executive sponsors), and resolving vendor or contract issues. The candidate should possess strong negotiation, influencing, analytical, and interpersonal skills (including written and oral communications). You will demonstrate the ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical teams, work independently in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment, and be comfortable with ambiguity and making high-judgement decisions.
