You're not just vetting vendors — you're building the supplier ecosystem that will support billions in infrastructure spend over the next decade. Every qualification decision you make shapes whether a new fulfillment center opens on time and whether Amazon can keep its promise to customers. Key job responsibilities Supplier Qualification & Development Lead end-to-end supplier qualification for new MHE suppliers (equipment or services) — evaluating people, process and technology. Develop and execute a standardized qualification process for new suppliers, products, and technologies — build the playbook, then run it consistently across every new entrant. Partner with other internal organization to build the standardized playbo
