Senior S&OP Planner, AWS Infrastructure S&OP
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on challenging problems with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain and are looking for talented people to help solve them.
You’ll join a diverse team of technical infrastructure program managers, software engineers, data specialists, supply chain specialists, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate across AWS to deliver the highest standards for planning and execution while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost. Experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
About the role
You will own the 0-2 year server-material Demand Plan of Record (POR) as well as the transition plan for assigned server platforms. Your charter is to keep demand, supply, and financial plans in lock-step while building the automation and mechanisms that let AWS scale its GenAI and Core infrastructure faster, cheaper, and more sustainably. Success requires exceptional judgment, a builder’s mindset, and the ability to influence at all levels—from front-line planners to VP- and SVP-level business owners.
Responsibilities
- Own the global S&OP cycle – Drive an end-to-end, monthly/quarterly cadence that aligns AWS demand signals with supply, power, and capital plans.
- Deliver a trusted demand signal – Produce a single source of truth that reconciles financial plans, sales & growth outlooks, NPI roadmaps, transition ramps, and prior POR commitments.
- Run executive planning forums – Frame one-way vs. two-way-door decisions, articulate trade-offs, and secure leadership alignment across AIS, EC2, S3, EBS, Finance, and Energy.
- Architect planning systems – Guide software teams in automating demand-, supply-, and scenario-planning workflows (e.g., Connect, o9, Infor, Manhattan); own interim manual mechanisms until automation is in place.
- Build decision frameworks – Develop constrained-planning models that surface risks and levers under power, permitting, or component shortages.
- Measure what matters – Define KPIs and dashboards that quantify forecast accuracy, inventory turns, build-plan adherence, and capacity-delivery cycle time.
- Champion continuous improvement – Sponsor digital-transformation sprints that simplify processes, eliminate waste, and raise planning maturity across AIS.
Requirements
- 5+ years of program management or technical project management experience.
- 6+ years of technical infrastructure management experience.
- 6+ years of core project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, quality, along with risk and critical path management in supply-chain or cloud-infrastructure planning.
Qualifications
- Experience delivering forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis, and data interpretation of results, or experience in solving complex business challenges by delivering accurate and timely financial models, analysis, and recommendations that have a proven impact on business (e.g., financial savings, operational improvements, or customer benefits).
- Hands-on success implementing enterprise planning suites (Connect, o9, Infor, Manhattan).
- Track record of measurable improvements in forecast accuracy, inventory turns, or capacity-delivery cycle time.
- Experience governing $100M+ capital budgets and navigating power/permitting constraints for data centers.
