DESCRIPTION
AWS Infrastructure Services is seeking a Supply Planning Lead to build and own a centralized supply planning function across our hardware portfolio — spanning EC2 Core, Graviton, AMD, Intel, ML, Networking, S3, EBS, and Niche service lines. This role will define the end-to-end supply planning strategy, establish a Master Production Schedule (MPS) that consolidates multiple demand inputs into a single signal for Global Supply Managers, and drive performance against key metrics including weeks of coverage, actualization rates, and fill rates. The leader will set inventory policies using statistical methods (safety stock, reorder points, ABC-XYZ segmentation), partner cross-functionally with Demand Planning, Finance, GSMs, and Rack Integrators, and scale the function from Core services to Networking and AI/ML. This is an opportunity to build a new function from the ground up — defining the team, operating model, and strategy to bring centralized accountability to a supply planning discipline that today operates without a single owner — directly impacting billions in inventory positioning across ACC/ACP, integrators, and ODM sites.
Key job responsibilities
Define and own the end-to-end supply planning strategy across all hardware service lines, establishing centralized planning processes where none exist today
Build and operationalize a Master Production Schedule (MPS) that consolidates demand inputs into a single, statistically buffered signal for Global Supply Managers
Establish inventory policies — safety stock, reorder points, ABC-XYZ segmentation — with differentiated treatment for high-value, high-variability components
Drive performance against WOC targets, actualization rates, fill rates, and excess aging with clear accountability
Partner cross-functionally with Demand Planning, Finance, GSMs, Rack Integrators, and Services to align supply positioning with build plan requirements
Extend the supply planning function beyond Core services into Networking and AI/ML, adapting processes to handle increasing product complexity — including multi-variant configurations, bundled rack dependencies, and large-scale deployments
Determine team scaling requirements and build a dedicated supply planning function — defining roles, hiring, and developing talent to ensure coverage across ACC/ACP, integrators, and ODM sites
Identify and mitigate supply risks proactively including sub-tier constraints, demand volatility, and component qualification gaps
Drive continuous improvement in planning tools and automation, leveraging Gen AI and statistical methods to improve accuracy and reduce manual intervention
A day in the life
Define the supply planning operating model — building the mechanisms, alarms, escalation paths, and reporting frameworks that enable the team and cross-functional partners to monitor day-to-day supply health independently. Establish the standards for WOC tracking, constraint identification, and risk escalation, then arm GSMs, analysts, and integrator partners with the tools and playbooks to execute. Focus shifts between refining inventory policies, scaling coverage into new service lines, developing the team, and aligning with Finance and leadership on strategic priorities.
About the team
You'll join a team within AWS Infrastructure Supply Chain that ensures the right hardware is planned, allocated, and positioned across one of the largest global supply chains in the world.

- Bachelor's degree or above in computer science, engineering, mathematics or equivalent, or Associate's degree or above and 2+ years of data querying languages (e.g. SQL), scripting languages (e.g. Python) or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R, SAS, Matlab, etc.) experience
- 5+ years of experience in supply planning, demand planning, or inventory management
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience in project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, quality, along with risk and critical path management

Tips for Your Director of Supply Chain Planning Job Search
Quantify your planning impact clearly
Hiring managers for director of supply chain planning roles want numbers, not narratives. Replace phrases like 'improved forecast accuracy' with the percentage improvement you drove and the revenue or inventory cost it affected across your planning horizon.
Highlight your S&OP facilitation experience
Many postings specifically ask for directors who can run a full sales and operations planning cycle. Call out the cross-functional teams you aligned, the cadence you owned, and whether you led executive-level S&OP reviews, not just participated in them.
Match your resume to the planning tools listed
Job postings for director of supply chain planning roles frequently specify tools like SAP IBP, o9, Kinaxis, or Blue Yonder. Mirror the exact tool names from each posting in your resume so your application clears automated screening before a human ever reads it.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists director of supply chain planning openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for a case-based interview round
Director of supply chain planning interviews often include a live scenario, such as managing a sudden supplier disruption or rebalancing inventory ahead of a seasonal peak. Practice walking through your decision framework out loud, citing trade-offs between service level, cost, and lead time.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
When you receive an offer, clarify the planning team headcount you'll own, the technology budget you control, and whether the role has a seat at executive planning reviews. These details reveal real seniority and growth potential more than the title alone does.
Director of Supply Chain Planning Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most director of supply chain plannings?
The companies hiring the most director of supply chain plannings right now include Amazon, Northrop Grumman, and Google, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Washington, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Consumer goods manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and large retailers tend to post the highest volume of these roles year-round.
How many director of supply chain planning jobs are remote?
About 53% of director of supply chain planning openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader flexibility at the director level across industries. Demand planning and S&OP leadership sub-functions tend to be the most remote-friendly, while roles tied to physical distribution networks or plant operations more often require on-site presence.
How do you become a director of supply chain planning?
Most directors of supply chain planning build their path by starting in analyst or planner roles, earning an APICS certification such as CPIM or CSCP, and progressively owning larger planning functions like demand, inventory, or S&OP. Moving into a senior manager or planning manager role before the director step is standard, and candidates who have led an end-to-end S&OP cycle or managed a planning technology implementation tend to be most competitive.
Can I get a director of supply chain planning job with limited experience?
Getting hired directly into a director of supply chain planning role with limited experience is rare, but candidates who have strong S&OP project ownership, an APICS certification, and exposure to advanced planning tools can sometimes bridge the gap by targeting smaller companies or high-growth brands that prioritize demonstrated initiative over years in title. Framing your experience around business outcomes rather than task lists strengthens a thinner resume considerably.
What does the director of supply chain planning interview process look like?
The interview process for a director of supply chain planning role typically starts with a recruiter screen focused on planning tool experience and team size, followed by a panel with supply chain and commercial stakeholders who probe your S&OP leadership and cross-functional alignment skills. Many companies then add a case study or scenario exercise covering demand volatility or inventory trade-offs, and final rounds usually include a conversation with the VP or CPO about strategic vision.
Where can I find and apply to director of supply chain planning jobs?
You can find and apply to director of supply chain planning jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search for roles that match your planning background, industry experience, and seniority level, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
