At Amazon, our vision is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our passion for invention leads us to pioneer and globalize new businesses and customer offerings daily. As we rapidly become the world's largest consumer of corporate services in many categories, the Corporate Strategic Procurement team is seeking a Strategic Sourcing Manager to join our team. This role is uniquely positioned at the nexus of business units across Amazon, and offers singular vision into a broad spectrum of cross-company initiatives and strategies on a global scale. Using this unique insight, the Strategic Sourcing Manager will build and lead sourcing engagements for both existing and newly emerging categories of spend, as well as negotiate multi-faceted partnership agreements for Amazon's high-growth businesses worldwide. Strategic Sourcing Managers own complex categories across multiple business units and regions, often in markets with limited competition and pricing transparency, and lead transformational sourcing initiatives with global scope. Strategic Sourcing Managers are expert practitioners in creating competitive environments, and have a strong bias for decision making rooted in data and analytics. They routinely influence C-level vendor relationships by advising senior Amazon leaders across multiple stakeholder groups on the direction of sourcing projects in support of business unit and corporate goals, and they raise the bar for sourcing peers across the global team. Successful candidates must work well in a fast-paced and often ambiguous arena, and will be rewarded by working alongside highly collaborative and entrepreneurial colleagues in an environment that feels much more "startup" than "big company". This role supports the Logistics spend category and we are seeking experienced sourcing professionals with experience in this arena who have a passion for serving customers and for driving change and impact on a global scale, then we would love to talk with you.
Key job responsibilities
- Owning one or more complex (sub-)categories across multiple business units and/or regions, developing and executing (sub-)category strategies
- Developing global sourcing strategies to deliver against business objectives for internal clients, and achieving sustainable relationships with suppliers.
- Managing categories in markets with limited competition and limited pricing transparency, proactively identifying and mitigating supplier, commercial, and ESG risk.
- Evaluating supplier core competencies and competitive positioning using industry cost models and benchmarking analysis.
- Managing the fundamentals of sourcing and supplier engagement activities, including RFx, spend pattern analysis, contract analysis, bid evaluation, negotiations, and supplier consolidation.
- Leading transformational sourcing projects with complex, global scope, coordinating work across team members and regions.
- Working with business and finance leaders to identify and drive savings and controllership improvements, focusing on total cost of ownership, and value creation beyond cost savings.
- Presenting sourcing strategies, recommendations, and decisions to senior leaders up to three levels above you.
- Contributing inputs to annual and long-range operating plans (OP1, OP2, and three-year forecast).
- Providing guidance to internal stakeholders on procurement processes and maintaining procurement ethics in accordance with Amazon's global policies.
- Preparing and holding business reviews with stakeholders to review vendor performance, future opportunities, and/or challenges.
- Mentoring and sharing best practices with sourcing peers across the global team.
A day in the life
Your morning might start with a cross-functional alignment call for an upcoming RFP involving three business units, followed by analyzing bid responses and building a recommendation deck for senior leadership. After lunch, you're on a negotiation call with a strategic supplier's C-suite to finalize contract terms, then pivoting to a spend review with Finance to validate savings actuals against targets. You'll close the day by coaching a business partner through the supplier evaluation framework for an upcoming engagement. No two days look the same — you'll balance long-range strategic planning with hands-on execution, often managing five or more active sourcing engagements simultaneously across different stages of the lifecycle.
About the team
Global Corporate Procurement (GCP) manages Amazon's indirect spend across Employee Services, Marketing, Professional Services, Technology, Logistics, and Real Estate & Facilities.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Strategic Sourcing Manager
Translate your credentials for U.S. employers
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 visa purposes. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-recognized body so your degree field clearly maps to supply chain, business, or a related specialty.
Target procurement teams with global supply chains
Fortune 500 manufacturers, technology firms, and healthcare networks with established sourcing functions file LCAs regularly. Filter DOL's OFLC disclosure data by job title and state to identify employers who have sponsored similar strategic sourcing roles before.
Frame your sourcing scope in specialty occupation terms
E-3 requires the role to demand a specific bachelor's degree field. Emphasize category management, supplier analytics, and contract strategy in your resume so the job description maps cleanly to procurement or supply chain management as a defined specialty occupation.
Secure a certified LCA before your consulate appointment
Your employer must file and receive a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL before you can attend your visa interview. This typically takes seven business days. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so nothing delays your start date.
Negotiate the sponsorship conversation before accepting an offer
Many U.S. employers confuse the E-3 with the H-1B lottery and assume sponsorship is expensive or uncertain. Clarify upfront that the E-3 has no cap, no lottery, and a straightforward employer process so their HR team doesn't stall or withdraw.
Plan your renewal timeline around contract cycles
E-3 status is granted in two-year increments tied to your employment. If your sourcing role involves multi-year supplier contracts, align your renewal filing with those cycles so a lapse in status doesn't interrupt active negotiations or ongoing supplier relationships.
E-3 Visa Senior Strategic Sourcing Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Senior Strategic Sourcing Manager jobs with E-3 sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search Senior Strategic Sourcing Manager roles filtered specifically for E-3 visa sponsorship. Most standard job boards don't distinguish E-3 from H-1B, so you waste time on roles where employers assume lottery exposure. Migrate Mate surfaces employers who have sponsored comparable procurement and supply chain roles, letting you focus outreach on realistic targets.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Senior Strategic Sourcing Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as supply chain management, business administration, engineering, or a related discipline. Roles that accept any degree in any field can fail the specialty occupation test. Your employer's job description should tie sourcing responsibilities directly to degree-level expertise in procurement or a related analytical field.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Strategic Sourcing Manager roles?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so your employer can file at any time of year and expect approval without a randomized selection process. The H-1B is capped at 85,000 per year with a lottery that rejects most registrants. For a sourcing role where your employer needs a defined start date tied to a contract or headcount plan, the E-3 is a materially more reliable path.
Can I change employers or take on a new sourcing role while on E-3 status?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh LCA and your new role must independently qualify as a specialty occupation. You can't transfer an existing E-3 to a new employer the way an H-1B holder uses portability. Plan for at least two to three weeks of lead time so the new LCA is certified before your first day, particularly if you're mid-negotiation on supplier contracts.
