About the team
The Network Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) team forecasts all inventory flows across the entire North America Fulfillment network. We manage everything from what Amazon receives from vendors and sellers to what it ships from our Fulfillment Centers (FCs). The network S&OP forecast is the starting point of a weekly planning process spanning first, middle mile, last mile and defining the amount of resources (trucks, labor) that need to be secured to ensure we fulfil our customer orders at the highest speed, best quality, lowest cost and carbon intensity possible. We collaborate closely with Supply Chain Optimization Technology (SCOT) teams in North America and internal tech stakeholders across Transportation, Labor Planning, and Finance teams, reconcile bottom-up and top-down inputs to build forecasts which are accurate and explainable as possible. We also partner with Supply Chain Execution (SCE) teams as well as Science partners to define the optimal allocation under constraints of volumes across the 9 Regions of the US fulfillment network
