Responsibilities
The Materials Planning Manager is a single threaded leader who serves as the orchestrator of long-lead equipment (LLE) planning and delivery execution for AWS data centers. This role drives forecast accuracy, milestone tracking, and risk management to ensure timely data center delivery
Demand Planning and Forecasting- You will spearhead the development and maintenance of a rolling three-year forecast for LLE, collaborating with business partners to capture evolving requirements. This includes managing schedule changes, tracking design modifications, and validating net new demand to maintain forecast accuracy. Your role requires coordinating with design teams to ensure equipment specifications align with construction timelines and maintaining a change management process that achieves first-time-right implementations
Milestone Management and Progress Tracking- As the single-threaded owner of milestone tracking, you will monitor the critical path from forecast creation through design, funding, delivery, and commissioning. This comprehensive tracking system enables proactive identification of potential delays, with a goal of maintaining 100% milestone achievement rate. You will exercise high judgment in determining when to escalate risks and which mitigation strategies to pursue, ensuring that potential delays are identified and addressed before impacting construction schedules
Risk Management and Prioritization- Your role focuses on tracking supplier delivery commitments against construction need-by dates, serving as an early warning system for potential schedule impacts. While Global Supply Chain Managers handle supplier negotiations, you will partner with them to highlight risks and support mitigation strategies. As the key liaison to the business, you will drive build prioritization decisions, maintaining a dynamic risk register that drives predicting and preventing delivery delays
Post-Delivery Support and Issue Resolution You will serve as the primary escalation point for post-delivery challenges at construction sites, including quality concerns and resource constraints. This responsibility requires building trusted relationships with suppliers and supply managers. When needed, you will lead war room sessions to resolve critical issues, targeting prompt resolution of issues
Success in this role directly impacts AWS's ability to deliver data centers on schedule, with performance measured by achievement of construction timelines and successful equipment installation. The position requires maintaining forecast accuracy, milestone tracking, and risk mitigation rather than supplier negotiations and capacity management
