As an individual contributor, you will be responsible for formulating business strategies and managing supply chain and inventory operations. You will spearhead cross-departmental initiatives aimed at enhancing customer satisfaction and optimizing the overall cost structure of the business.

This position entails overseeing inventory management for an Amazon Fresh Private Brands category across both Online and In-Store platforms.

Key responsibilities include implementing inventory strategies to maximize customer satisfaction, sales, profit margins, and inventory turnover. The ideal ICM will strive to achieve a balance between high inventory availability and minimizing waste/expiration. They will conduct audits and, when necessary, delve into the fundamental causes of inventory availability and waste performance. Proactively identifying opportunities for tool and workflow enhancements will be essential.

This role closely collaborates with retail and operational partners throughout Amazon and is crucial to the expansion of Amazon Grocery.


The successful candidate will effectively communicate across various teams and levels while balancing the needs and expectations of both internal and external stakeholders.

A relentless focus on enhancing the customer experience is vital. Adaptability and the ability to prioritize in a dynamic business landscape will also be critical. Our team culture is results-oriented, collaborative, and driven to achieve success.

Key Job Responsibilities

Manage inventory availability and health, including: improved stock levels, inventory forecasting, vendor operational enhancements (efficiency, fill rates, lead times), and waste reduction.
Drive strategic initiatives across functions to enhance customer satisfaction and the overall cost structure of the business.
Conduct complex business analyses to uncover opportunities for revenue and profitability improvements.
Collaborate with internal teams to develop tools, automation, and process enhancements that impact purchasing and vendor management workflows.

Note:

This is a Hybrid role, requiring an ICM to be on-site at least 3 days/week in one of our Amazon Fresh corporate offices.

A Day in the Life

Manage strategic projects and initiatives aimed at improving metrics, automation, scalability, or efficiency within the role or organization.
Monthly

Support Quarterly Business Reviews with Vendor Management, focusing on communicating vendor performance, identifying gaps, and initiatives to enhance product availability and sales.

About the Team

This role reports to a Manager of Inventory Control (MICM) and collaborates with several ICMs within the assigned category.

Each ICM is assigned a specific set of SKUs within the category based on their expertise and the complexity of the SKUs, their supply chain, and supply base.
