Job Description

As Program Manager, Supply Chain, you will own and drive the full supply chain program — from strategic sourcing and supplier development through demand planning, inventory management, and materials fulfillment for production. You'll serve as the strategic program leader connecting engineering, manufacturing, and our contract manufacturer, ensuring parts are available, suppliers are performing, and the business has the visibility it needs to make informed decisions.

- Partner with engineering during NPI to drive component selection toward supply-resilient, cost-effective, and readily available parts
- Manage supplier relationships, scorecards, and performance reviews

Demand Planning & Inventory Management
- Develop and maintain demand forecasts in collaboration with product, engineering, and leadership; translate forecasts into material requirements and procurement plans
- Manage inventory Levels to balance availability against carrying cost and obsolescence risk
- Track and communicate parts availability status, shortages, and risk to production schedules; drive resolution of critical shortages

Production Materials & CM Coordination
- Serve as the primary supply chain interface with the contract manufacturer — coordinating materials planning, consigned vs. turnkey decisions, and kitting
- Monitor supplier on-time delivery and component yield; drive corrective actions for chronic performance issues
- Support subassembly and system builds with real-time materials visibility and escalation paths
- Own the end-to-end PO lifecycle from issuance through receipt and reconciliation

Operations & Process Development
- Build and scale supply chain processes, tools, and systems appropriate from concept to production — including ERP/MRP setup or optimization
- Lead cost reduction initiatives through negotiation, re-sourcing, and design-to-cost partnerships with engineering
- Manage logistics and freight strategy for inbound materials and outbound finished goods

At Fauna, you’ll work at the frontier of this space, helping define how robots move, manipulate, and interact with people in natural environments. It’s an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build.
If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable, we’re interested in hearing from you.

Amazon.com Services LLC is an operating company in the Amazon corporate family that supports and delivers a broad set of technology-enabled retail and marketplace services. As part of the larger Amazon organization, it participates in the operation and management of Amazon’s online retail marketplace, third‑party seller programs, fulfillment and logistics solutions, and related customer-facing services. The company’s activities are oriented around applying software, systems engineering and logistical infrastructure to enable large-scale e-commerce, digital distribution and platform services for consumers and businesses. Overview and scope Amazon.com Services LLC functions as one of the entities through which Amazon delivers commerce and seller-related services. In practice, that includes enabling Amazon’s marketplace for third‑party sellers, operating fulfillment programs (including Fulfillment by Amazon—FBA), and supporting the web and mobile retail experiences that customers use to discover, buy and receive products. The company leverages Amazon’s broader investments in distributed computing, data analytics, inventory systems and automated fulfillment to provide both consumer-facing retail and business-to-business seller services. Core business activities The core activities associated with Amazon.com Services LLC revolve around online retail operations and the technology and logistics that underpin them. Key activities include: operating the Amazon.com consumer marketplace and associated storefronts; managing programs that onboard, list and transact for third‑party sellers; providing fulfillment, warehousing and shipping services for inventory enrolled in Amazon’s logistics networks; powering payments and order processing systems; and supporting customer service operations related to retail transactions. These activities are tightly integrated with Amazon’s global logistics network, delivery services, and software platforms that enable inventory management, pricing, content management and search/recommendation systems. Main products and services While Amazon.com Services LLC is one of several operating companies in the Amazon group, the practical products and services associated with its operations include marketplace hosting for third‑party sellers (seller accounts, tools and dashboards), fulfillment and warehousing services (including FBA), order processing and returns management, customer service support for retail transactions, and technology platforms that expose APIs and seller tools for listing, pricing and inventory control. These services enable merchants to sell through Amazon’s digital storefronts and to use Amazon’s fulfillment infrastructure for storage, packing and shipping. Relationship to broader Amazon offerings The operational scope of Amazon.com Services LLC overlaps and integrates with other Amazon businesses and technology platforms. For example, Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides the cloud infrastructure and many platform services that power Amazon’s retail site and seller services, while Amazon’s consumer-facing subscription services such as Amazon Prime (which bundles fast shipping, streaming and other benefits) influence demand and fulfillment priorities. Additionally, Amazon’s devices (Kindle, Echo/Alexa, Fire TV) and digital content offerings (Prime Video, Amazon Music, Audible) form adjacent product lines that operate within the same corporate ecosystem, increasing cross‑channel customer engagement with the retail marketplace. Technology and innovation focus Amazon.com Services LLC operates in an environment driven by software, systems engineering and logistics innovation. Amazon’s public communications emphasize technology investments in automation, robotics, machine learning, search and recommendation algorithms, and large-scale distributed systems to improve selection, convenience and price. The company’s approach to improving customer experience and seller services is built on continuous iteration in software, data science and operational research, as well as deployment of warehouse automation and transportation optimization technologies. Customers and users End customers are the millions of consumers who shop on Amazon’s retail websites and use related mobile apps. Another primary customer segment is the millions of third‑party sellers and professional merchants who use Amazon’s marketplace and seller services to reach consumers globally. Businesses and developers that integrate with Amazon’s seller APIs, fulfillment services, and advertising platforms also rely on the services and systems that Amazon.com Services LLC helps deliver. Official mission and corporate context Amazon’s public materials state a mission and guiding principle focused on customer centricity—commonly expressed by the company as striving “to be Earth’s most customer‑centric company.” That mission underpins the retail and marketplace operations and is reflected in investments in selection, convenience and low prices. Amazon operates across multiple industries including e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, consumer electronics and logistics; Amazon.com Services LLC is a part of that broader corporate structure and concentrates on the commerce and seller-facing components of the business. Regulatory and corporate form Amazon.com Services LLC is a limited liability company within the Amazon corporate structure; like other operating subsidiaries, it is used to carry out specific aspects of Amazon’s commercial activities. Public filings and corporate disclosures identify multiple Amazon subsidiaries that collectively operate global retail, subscription, cloud and device businesses. Amazon’s public investor relations and corporate governance materials describe Amazon as a technology company with e-commerce and cloud computing core competencies, and Amazon.com Services LLC functions within that legal and operational framework. Summary In summary, Amazon.com Services LLC is a technology-enabled operating company in the Amazon family that provides and supports the marketplace, seller services, fulfillment and related retail operations that allow consumers to buy products and third‑party sellers to reach customers through Amazon’s digital storefronts. Its work is characterized by large-scale software systems, fulfillment and logistics networks, and continual investment in automation and data-driven tools to improve customer and seller experiences. The company’s activities align with Amazon’s stated customer-centric mission and the broader corporate focus on leveraging technology to scale commerce and distribution globally.
