Senior Category Manager - Power Infrastructure & Grid Services, Power and Utilities, Global Procurement Organization (GPO)

Want to shape how one of the world's largest logistics networks powers its next chapter from keeping critical operations running to building the resilient energy infrastructure of tomorrow?

Our team powers everything from robotic sortation centers to last-mile delivery stations. We're looking for a strategic procurement leader to source, negotiate, and scale onsite power infrastructure microgrids, prime power systems, backup generators, voltage sag protection, and grid services reducing downtime, lowering cost to serve, and improving speed to serve for hundreds of millions of customers.

You'll develop and execute category sourcing strategies for onsite power resiliency and prime power across Amazon's network managing ~700 MW of capacity deployments across 300+ sites over two years. You'll negotiate complex multi-year agreements (CapEx, Energy-as-a-Service, Hybrid) with institutional-scale energy companies in a supply-constrained market with 15–18 month equipment lead times.

You'll shape our grid services strategy unlocking revenue through demand response, energy arbitrage, and utility market participation, transforming backup assets from passive insurance into active value creators. You'll define how Amazon approaches distributed energy, grid independence, and next-gen power solutions building the playbook where one doesn't exist, navigating diverse regulatory environments and multi-decade financial commitments.

We operate with urgency, embrace ambiguity as opportunity, and build for long-term impact. If you want to solve infrastructure challenges at unmatched scale, negotiate deals that move markets, and create strategy with no precedent this is your role.
