The posting
Are you energized by solving complex network design problems at scale? Amazon's Rapid and Rural Logistics (R2L) Supply Chain team is looking for a Senior Supply Chain Manager to lead site selection and launch planning for our Sub-Same Day (SSD) delivery network. In this role, you will conduct topology analysis, evaluate real estate options, and develop jurisdictional proposals and volume plans that shape where and how we expand. Your recommendations feed directly into financial modeling and capital approval decisions, making your work a critical input to one of Amazon's fastest-growing delivery programs.
This is a high-visibility opportunity at an inflection point: the SSD network is preparing for its largest expansion yet, and the team is investing in scalable, automated launch and expansion processes to support rapid growth in the years ahead. You will partner with Finance, Real Estate, Operations, S&OP, and Delivery Experience (DEX) teams to turn data into actionable plans that get new sites open on time and on budget.
Key job responsibilities - Conduct topology analysis using demand estimation and optimization tools to develop jurisdictional coverage proposals and volume plans for new and existing metro areas. - Partner with Finance and Real Estate to translate site proposals into financial payback models that support the site selection and capital approval process. - Collaborate with S&OP, launch, and DEX teams to align demand forecasts, capacity allocation, and launch timelines across the network. - Identify and implement process improvements that scale and automate the jurisdictional planning and launch functions, reducing manual effort as annual launch volume grows. - Manage trade-offs across competing priorities — building size, coverage boundaries, timeline, and cost — and present clear recommendations to leadership.
A day in the life You will spend much of your time working in optimization and planning tools, estimating zip-code-level demand and mapping it against real estate options to build the strongest possible site proposal. From there, you will join cross-functional working sessions with planning and launch teams to align on timelines and capacity targets. When a live coverage gap surfaces, you may step in to help resolve it quickly, but most of your work is proactive and roadmap-driven. Expect a mix of heads-down analytical work and collaborative problem-solving with partners across the organization.
