DESCRIPTION
Tech – Supply Chain manages all IT infrastructure and end-user equipment deployed across Amazon's network globally. The team is responsible for providing end-to-end solutions that power the physical fulfillment of our customers' orders, including management of new site launches across the globe that directly support shipping packages to millions of Amazon.com customers. RAD is the physical warehouse network that fulfills these orders, handling the hands-on preparation, deployment, and recovery of IT equipment at scale.
The Regional Planner executes the S&OE function for their assigned region, serving as the critical link between demand planning and site-level execution. This role translates the consolidated demand plan into WHERE to fulfill, HOW to staff, and WHEN to execute within their regional network. The Regional Operations Planner operates within the three-pillar S&OE model: weekly operational planning cycles, execution support for order resolution, and capacity program analysis to ensure sites can absorb demand proactively rather than reactively.
Key job responsibilities
- Execute weekly operational planning cycles for assigned region, producing site-level execution plans with volume allocation by process path and labor requirements
- Translate S&OP outputs into executable short-term supply plans, monitor execution against the plan, and drive rapid resolution of gaps (e.g., demand spikes, supply disruptions, capacity constraints)
- Translate demand plans, order reservations, and order priority logic into actionable regional execution plans that optimize network utilization
- Support network-level level-loading by identifying capacity constraints and volume distribution opportunities within regional sites
- Drive structured resolution of unfulfillable orders by partnering with site operations, Supply Chain Planning, and Procurement to clear blockers and convert to fulfillable demand
- Monitor and maintain regional capacity buffers, tracking current utilization against available capacity and escalating constraint signals
- Contribute to regional capacity outlook analysis across multiple horizons (0-90 days, 30-180 days) and provide data-driven input for investment recommendations
- Track and report regional performance metrics including forecast-to-plan accuracy, unfulfillable conversion rates, and capacity buffer maintenance
- Partner with the S&OE Manager and other regional planners to ensure consistent planning cadence, methodology, and output quality across all regions
A day in the life
We are looking for a Regional Operations Planner who can operate at the intersection of demand translation and execution planning within their assigned region. This role will be accountable for converting demand signals into executable regional operations that support the network's goal of 95% On-Time Ship performance while eliminating reactive overtime and expedited freight costs.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in regional planner jobs.
- Bachelor's or master's degree in urban planning, geography, or a closely related field
- Proficiency in GIS software such as ArcGIS or QGIS for spatial analysis and mapping
- AICP certification or active progress toward certification preferred for mid-level roles
- Experience interpreting and applying zoning codes, general plans, or comprehensive plans
- Strong written and verbal communication skills for public presentations and staff reports
- Familiarity with environmental review processes including NEPA or state equivalents
Tips for Your Regional Planner Job Search
Tailor your resume to planning codes
Hiring managers scan for specific regulatory fluency, so name the zoning codes, comprehensive plans, and land use frameworks you've worked with directly. A resume that lists 'CEQA experience' or 'Title VI compliance' signals readiness faster than generic planning language.
Highlight your GIS project work
Most regional planner postings require GIS proficiency, but vague claims won't stand out. Describe a specific analysis you ran, the datasets you used, and what the output informed. Quantify the scope of the study area or the number of stakeholders the work affected.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists regional planner openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by planning specialty
Land use, transportation, housing, and environmental planning each have distinct required skills and hiring agencies. Narrow your search to your specialty so your application materials stay tightly aligned with what the employer actually needs, rather than sending a generalist resume everywhere.
Prepare a portfolio of public-facing work
Many regional planner interviews include a work sample review. Bring a concise portfolio that shows a plan, study, or report you contributed to, and be ready to walk the panel through your analytical process and how you incorporated public or stakeholder input.
Negotiate based on classification level
Government and agency employers post regional planner roles with step-based salary schedules tied to a classification level. Before negotiating, confirm which step you qualify for based on your years of direct planning experience so your ask is grounded in the agency's own pay framework.
Regional Planner Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most regional planners?
CBRE, Celanese, and Amazon are hiring the most regional planners right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Municipal governments, regional planning commissions, and environmental consulting firms consistently account for the largest share of active postings.
How many regional planner jobs are remote?
About 100% of regional planner openings are fully remote or hybrid as of July 2026, though the role skews more in-person than many professional fields given its reliance on site visits, public meetings, and local stakeholder engagement. Research, policy analysis, and report-writing functions are the sub-areas most likely to be performed remotely.
How do you become a regional planner?
Most regional planner positions require at minimum a bachelor's degree in urban planning, public policy, geography, or a related field, though a master's degree opens more mid-level and senior roles at government agencies and consulting firms. Build GIS skills early, complete an internship with a planning department or metropolitan planning organization, and pursue AICP certification once you accumulate the required professional experience hours.
How do you get hired as a regional planner with little experience?
Entry-level regional planner roles often accept candidates with internship experience, strong GIS skills, and a relevant degree in lieu of full-time work history. Focus on openings titled planning technician, planning analyst, or assistant planner at county or municipal agencies, which typically have more structured onboarding. A thesis, capstone project, or academic research paper that demonstrates applied planning analysis can substitute for job experience in your application materials.
What does the regional planner interview process look like?
Most regional planner hiring processes include an initial screening with HR, followed by a panel interview with planning staff and sometimes department leadership. Panels typically use structured, competency-based questions covering regulatory knowledge, community engagement experience, and analytical problem-solving. Some agencies request a writing sample, a work sample presentation, or a take-home exercise involving a planning scenario or GIS task before or after the panel stage.
Where can I find and apply to regional planner jobs?
You can find and apply to regional planner jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search for roles that match your planning specialty and experience level, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background.
