Business Area: Operations – Procurement
We make sure Amazon gets value for money every time it buys non-inventory goods and services for its Fulfillment Centers (FCs) and corporate business. It’s a fast-paced operation that supports growth and change, works with every department and is driven by Key Performance Indicators – and there’s plenty of healthy competition. We work individually and as part of teams, meeting regularly to cement our relationships and approach.
The Site Procurement Operations Center (SPOC), reporting into the Global Procurement Organization (GPO), ensures that Amazon gets value for money for non-inventory goods to provide the Fulfillment Centers with the necessary shipping supplies they need to operate smoothly. The team has two divisions: North America (NA) and Europe (EUK). As a Supply Chain Specialist, you will provide functional support to a group of Fulfillment Centers (FCs) for all aspects of procurement. The number of FCs within a group will depend on FC size and other relevant parameters. This includes securing the constant flow of packaging goods and services, supplied at the best overall value to the business on a day to day basis, Blanket Purchase Order management, Key Performance Indicators (KPI) bridging ownership, Accounts Payable invoice hold resolution, site launch support, and escalation management. SPOC currently provides these services for ~1200 sites across 14 countries.
SPOC NA is a 24/7 team (shifts both days and nights) supporting Operations & the Field Procurement team and follows Amazon Corporate guidance for hybrid schedules, allowing team members to work from home up to two days per week with the other three days spent working in our office in Tempe, Arizona. Based on business need, our Specialists are slotted into different shifts. You may be required to work Days, Nights or Weekends. You must be open to any shift.
