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. We own the end-to-end material lifecycle — from supply planning and allocation through inventory health management across a global network of manufacturing sites. We build from zero, operate at massive scale with startup energy, and sit at the center of engineering, finance, and operations. Every person has outsized impact. This role stands up a new function focused on inventory health — you'll have the autonomy to build it and the visibility to drive change.

Tips for Your Supply Planning Specialist Job Search
Quantify your forecast accuracy results
Hiring managers for supply planning roles want numbers, not narratives. Pull your actual forecast accuracy, fill rate, or inventory reduction figures from past roles and put them in your resume bullets. Vague claims about improving supply chain efficiency won't stand out.
List your planning software by name
SAP IBP, Oracle Demantra, Blue Yonder, and Kinaxis appear constantly in supply planning specialist job descriptions. Name every system you've used, including ERP modules. Recruiters filter resumes by tool, so a generic mention of 'planning software' will cost you interviews.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists supply planning specialist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that name your industry vertical
Supply planning in pharmaceuticals requires GMP compliance knowledge, while consumer goods roles lean on promotional lift modeling. Filter your job search by industry and read each posting for vertical-specific requirements before applying so your cover note speaks to their exact context.
Prepare a case study for the interview
Many supply planning interviews include a scenario exercise involving a demand spike, supplier disruption, or SKU rationalization problem. Prep a two-minute verbal walkthrough of a real situation you managed, the tradeoffs you weighed, and the outcome. Generic answers about teamwork won't get you past this stage.
Negotiate start date around system access timelines
ERP and planning tool access provisioning can take several weeks at large employers. If you're negotiating your start date, factor in that your first meaningful output may be delayed by system onboarding. Asking about provisioning timelines in your offer conversation signals operational awareness.
Supply Planning Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most supply planning specialists?
Amazon, Northrop Grumman, and Google are hiring the most supply planning specialists right now, with openings concentrated in California, Texas, and Washington, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Consumer goods, pharmaceutical, and retail companies tend to post the highest volume of these roles year-round.
How many supply planning specialist jobs are remote?
About 61% of supply planning specialist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's reliance on ERP and planning platforms that are accessible off-site. Demand planning and inventory analyst functions within the role tend to be the most remote-friendly, while roles tied to warehouse or manufacturing site coordination are more likely to require on-site presence.
How do you become a supply planning specialist?
Start with a bachelor's degree in supply chain, operations, business, or a quantitative field. Build hands-on experience in a demand planning, inventory control, or operations analyst role, ideally using an ERP system. Earning an APICS CPIM certification strengthens your candidacy considerably. From there, apply to junior supply planning roles where you can own a product category or SKU set independently.
Can you get a supply planning specialist job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level supply planning roles exist, but you'll need to demonstrate analytical ability and at least basic ERP or spreadsheet modeling skills. Internships in procurement, operations, or logistics count. Highlight any coursework in inventory theory, forecasting, or operations management. Applying to companies that run formal rotational supply chain programs gives you the best path in without prior full-time experience.
What does the supply planning specialist interview process look like?
Most processes run three to four stages. An initial recruiter screen is followed by a hiring manager conversation focused on your planning methodology and tools experience. A technical or analytical exercise often comes next, typically involving a forecast scenario, an inventory problem, or an Excel-based case. Final rounds usually include a panel with cross-functional stakeholders from procurement, logistics, or finance.
Where can I find and apply to supply planning specialist jobs?
You can find and apply to supply planning specialist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your industry background, seniority level, and location preferences, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
