About the role

Senior Category Manager to lead commercial delivery of complex, multi-disciplinary, multi-million-dollar Ops construction projects across North America within Amazon's Global Procurement Organization, focusing on construction category strategy, supplier management, and sustainable materials in line with Amazon Climate Pledge.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end commercial delivery of multi-million-dollar GC construction projects — sourcing, competitive bid, award, contract execution, and handover.
  • Develop and execute sourcing strategies that drive competition, maximize managed spend, and deliver measurable net cost savings.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Real Estate, Design & Construction, and Engineering Services to align vendor capacity with program milestones — including Prime week and Peak readiness.
  • Run the full supplier lifecycle: performance management, should-cost analysis, concentration risk monitoring, and sustainability delivery aligned with Amazon's Climate Pledge.
  • Earn trust with senior stakeholders by providing data-driven market intelligence — GC capacity, regional pricing trends, and strategic opportunities — to inform roadmap decisions.
  • Define and own KPIs (cost, speed, quality, risk); track team progress against targets and drive continuous process improvement.
  • Travel up to 10% (site visits, supplier reviews, cross-regional collaboration).
  • A day in the life: negotiate with GCs and subcontractors, build should-cost model, present sourcing recommendations to leadership, translate program needs into commercial outcomes.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of relevant strategic sourcing and category management in indirect categories such as professional services, support or maintenance spend, supply chain, forecasting, manufacturing, sourcing/procurement, or vendor management experience
  • 7+ years of negotiations/cost savings, supplier excellence, and risk mitigation experience
  • 5+ years of construction management or working with general contractors and managing supplier diversity initiatives experience
