DESCRIPTION

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all the servers, storage, networking, power and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
We’re looking for a Logistics Operations Specialist to be the operational backbone of our Data Center logistics team. You’ll own the daily flow of materials, equipment and inventory, troubleshoot issues on the ground, and ensure our operations run like clockwork.
You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Key job responsibilities
Key job responsibilities

As a Logistics Operations Specialist, you will oversee and support the end-to-end flow of materials, parts, and equipment within our logistics network. You will manage daily inbound and outbound activities, monitor inventory accuracy, and coordinate with warehouse, transportation, and procurement teams to ensure service level commitments are met.
You will serve as the primary point of contact for logistics operations across multiple sites, coordinating and overseeing activities related to scheduling and supporting shipments between locations. This includes managing cross-site shipment planning, tracking and issue resolution, as well as supervising on-site activities such as receiving, unpacking, and verifying contents. You will also ensure that all workspaces across sites are maintained to the highest standards of cleanliness, orderliness, and safety.

You will play an active role in continuous improvement initiatives by pinpointing bottlenecks through root cause analysis, recommending targeted process changes, and supporting the rollout of new workflows. Leveraging your operational expertise and analytical skills, you will help drive measurable efficiency gains, reduce waste and enhance performance across the logistics function.
This position involves occasional trips across the cluster to support other sites and lifting materials up to 18kg (with support from teammates available).
