Amazon is seeking a Strategic Sourcing Manager to join the Global Corporate Procurement (GCP) Team. This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of a team that has a meaningful and measurable impact on Amazon’s success. 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 services in many categories, the Corporate Procurement team is fueling our explosive growth by identifying innovative sourcing strategies and negotiating sustainable, long-term partnerships. We are seeking a skilled Strategic Sourcing Manager with experience leading complex sourcing initiatives across Employee Services.
Key leadership traits required include the ability to influence and form partnerships with business leaders, and operational excellence in managing multiple complex and competing priorities simultaneously. Strategic Sourcing Managers are expert practitioners in the tools for creating competitive environments and have a bias for decision-making rooted in data and analytics. They routinely influence vendor relationships by advising Amazon leaders across multiple stakeholder groups on the direction of sourcing projects in support of business goals. If you are looking for a new challenge in a fast-paced, innovative company, come make history with Amazon’s Global Corporate Procurement department.
At Amazon, we believe that in-person collaboration is essential to our culture and innovation. While we allow flexibility for personal circumstances, we generally expect employees to work from our offices five days a week. This approach has consistently shown that spontaneous interactions, rapid problem-solving, and the energy of in-person teamwork led to better results for our customers. Our data shows that teams working together in person are more effective at making complex decisions, onboarding new team members, and fostering the kind of creative collaboration that has driven Amazon's success. The serendipitous hallway conversations and impromptu whiteboarding sessions that happen naturally in an office environment have proven invaluable to our invention process and maintaining our high bar for excellence.
Key job responsibilities
- Establishing strong relationships with internal business stakeholders; building a strong understanding of strategic business direction, requirements and priorities across assigned suppliers and/or spend categories
- Dive deep across multiple business units to leverage our supplier base with the goal of optimizing performance, quality, and cost
- Evaluate supplier core competencies and competitive positioning using industry cost models and benchmarking; leveraging key-insights to inform and support the strategic sourcing strategy development process
- Managing the fundamentals of sourcing and supplier engagement activities including RFx, spend pattern analysis, contract analysis, bid evaluation, negotiations, and supplier consolidation
- Identifying sourcing opportunities by leveraging spend analysis tools and engage with stakeholders to consolidate requirements over categories, suppliers and geographies
- Work with business and finance leaders to identify and drive savings and controllership improvements, optimizing the return on investment and total cost of ownership
- Providing guidance to internal stakeholders on procurement processes and best-practice tools, such as category management, supplier evaluation and supplier diversity
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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Strategic Sourcing Manager
Translate your sourcing credentials for U.S. hiring
Chilean procurement certifications and titles don't always map directly to U.S. job descriptions. Cross-reference your experience against the O*NET occupation profile for Procurement Managers to frame your background in language U.S. hiring managers and visa officers recognize.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter for companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for sourcing and supply chain roles. This tells you which employers already understand H-1B1 Chile sponsorship obligations, cutting weeks off your job search.
Confirm the specialty occupation case before accepting an offer
H-1B1 Chile requires the role to qualify as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Ask the hiring team to confirm the LCA will list supply chain management, engineering, or a related field before you sign.
Get your prevailing wage benchmark before negotiating
Run your target job title and location through the OFLC Wage Search before entering salary negotiations. The employer's LCA must certify your offered wage meets the DOL prevailing wage, so arriving informed prevents offer adjustments after filing begins.
Prepare a sourcing portfolio that supports specialty occupation
Consular officers sometimes probe whether a Strategic Sourcing Manager role genuinely requires specialized knowledge. Document complex category strategies, supplier negotiations, or cost-modeling projects that demonstrate the role demands a specific disciplinary background, not general business acumen.
Plan for the 18-month validity window and renewal timing
H-1B1 Chile status is granted in 18-month increments with no cap on renewals. Coordinate your start date and performance review cycles so your employer files the extension petition well before expiration, avoiding any gap in work authorization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Strategic Sourcing Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Chile?
Yes, if the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business, engineering, or a directly related field. The employer must certify this on the Labor Condition Application. Roles where any generalist degree suffices or where the degree requirement is listed as preferred rather than required can create problems at the consulate, so confirm the job description specifies a relevant degree before applying.
How does H-1B1 Chile compare to H-1B for sourcing professionals?
H-1B1 Chile skips the H-1B lottery entirely, so your candidacy isn't subject to random selection. The annual cap is 1,400 visas and has never been exhausted, processing happens at the consulate rather than through USCIS, and status is issued in 18-month increments rather than three-year periods. The trade-off is that H-1B1 Chile doesn't allow dual intent, meaning you can't simultaneously pursue a green card while on this status.
How do I find employers in the U.S. who sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas for sourcing roles?
Search Migrate Mate to identify companies with verified Labor Condition Application filing history in procurement and supply chain categories. Employers who have filed LCAs previously are already familiar with the sponsorship process, which significantly reduces friction during offer negotiations and the filing period.
What documents should I prepare before a U.S. employer starts the H-1B1 Chile filing process?
Gather your university transcripts, degree certificate, and any professional certifications in procurement or supply chain. If your degree is from a Chilean institution, have it evaluated by a credential evaluation service to confirm U.S. equivalency. You'll also need a detailed offer letter, your CV aligned to the specialty occupation requirements, and a valid Chilean passport with at least six months of validity beyond your intended start date.
Can I switch employers while on H-1B1 Chile status as a Strategic Sourcing Manager?
Yes, but H-1B1 Chile doesn't carry H-1B's portability protections. Your new employer must file a fresh Labor Condition Application with DOL and receive approval before you begin work. There's no grace period that allows you to start with the new company while the LCA is pending, so coordinate your transition timeline carefully to avoid any unauthorized work period.
