Bothell, WA 98082
About the Job
As part of the AWS Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges.

Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.
"Just Walk Out" (JWO) is a new and innovative service at stores across stadiums, airports, convenience, and more! Just Walk Out technology allows shoppers to enter a store, grab whatever they want, and quickly get back to their day, without having to wait in a checkout line or stop at a cashier. Customers enter or exit the store with a payment method, bypassing a checkout-line. The technology uses camera vision and sensor fusion, or RFID technology which allows them to simply walk away with their items. By removing the checkout, retailers can increase merchandising space, move more customers through the store, and provide a frictionless shopping experience.
We are looking for a Senior Program Manager to join our JWO Supply Chain organization. JWO Supply Chain is a part of our larger JWO Supply Chain, Operations, & Technology (SCOT) organization. JWO Supply Chain is responsible for the operational fulfillment of planned site launch demand and unplanned demand for break-fix technical equipment. Our scope includes demand planning, procurement, inventory management, warehousing, and transportation. JWO Supply Chain Program Management team is focused on increasing operational excellence to meet the organization’s goals. The Program Management team partners and collaborates across all of JWO Supply Chain functional areas.
