Senior S&OP Planner, Infrastructure Capacity & S&OP Planning
About the role
The Senior S&OP Planner leads the AIS Supply Planning team inside the CDSA (Capacity Delivery, Supportability & Analytics) organization. You will own the 13-to-103-week server-material Supply Plan of Record (POR) and the 0-to-10-year data-center capacity POR. Your charter is to keep demand, supply, power, 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.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the global S&OP cycle – Drive an end-to-end, monthly/quarterly cadence that aligns AWS demand signals with supply supportability, power, and capital plans.
- Deliver a trusted Supply response (Supportability) signal – Produce a single source of truth that reconciles financial plans, sales & growth outlooks, NPI roadmaps, transition ramps, and prior POR commitments.
- Ran 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.
