We are seeking a Senior Category Manager to lead the commercial delivery of complex, multi-disciplinary, multi-million-dollar Ops construction projects across one of our global regions. The Construction Category team owns the end-to-end sourcing strategy for general contractors, developers, and key trade packages. This role will work alongside a team of Construction Category Managers and partner closely with Pre-Construction, Design & Construction, Real Estate, and World Wide Design to develop and execute category sourcing strategies, maximize managed spend, deliver measurable net cost savings, and drive competition into historically under-competed markets. The team operates at the intersection of Amazon's Climate Pledge commitments and unprecedented construction demand — including responsibility for sustainable construction materials such as steel, low-carbon steel, and low-carbon concrete. You will collaborate cross-business with AWS to leverage Amazon's combined construction scale and avoid market fragmentation. This is a high-growth, fast-moving team undergoing significant global expansion. The right candidate is a self-starter with dedication to seeing projects through to the end, able to work independently in a collaborative, creative, and ambiguous environment. You bring an eye for detail, determination to standardize processes, and the ability to deliver high-quality work. This position involves direct engagement with internal and external stakeholders at every level — from project teams to senior leadership — and requires the credibility to inform decision-making and earn trust across the business. ### Key job responsibilities Own end-to-end commercial delivery of multi-million-dollar GC construction projects — sourcing, competitive bid, award, contract execution, and handover. Develop and execute sourcing strategies that drive competition, maximize managed spend, and deliver measurable net cost savings. Partner cross-functionally with Real Estate, Design & Construction, and Engineering Services to align vendor capacity with program milestones — including Prime week and Peak readiness. ### Run the full supplier lifecycle performance management, should-cost analysis, concentration risk monitoring, and sustainability delivery aligned with Amazon's Climate Pledge. Earn trust with senior stakeholders by providing data-driven market intelligence — GC capacity, regional pricing trends, and strategic opportunities — to inform roadmap decisions. Define and own KPIs (cost, speed, quality, risk); track team progress against targets and drive continuous process improvement. Travel up to 10% (site visits, supplier reviews, cross-regional collaboration). ### A day in the life You negotiate with GCs and subcontractors in the morning, build a should-cost model over lunch, and present a sourcing recommendation to leadership by end of day — no two days look the same. You sit at the crossroads of Design & Construction, Real Estate, Engineering Services, and Finance — translating program needs into commercial outcomes that deliver sites on time, on budget, and aligned with Amazon's Climate Pledge. ### You flex between strategy and execution developing a regional vendor panel one week, resolving a contractor escalation the next. You deep-dive data — market pricing, GC capacity, spend concentration — to surface opportunities others miss and bring them to life at Amazon scale. ### About the team The Construction Category team is building something new. We manage one of Amazon's largest and fastest-growing global spend categories across NA, EMEA, LATAM, MEATR, and APAC — driving competition, cost transparency, and sustainability into how Amazon builds. The team is growing, standing up regional vendor panels, deploying should-cost capabilities, and delivering on Amazon's Climate Pledge through sustainable materials sourcing including steel, low-carbon steel, and low-carbon concrete. If you want to shape procurement's role in how Amazon builds — not just support it — this is where to be. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Aug 3, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Aug 20, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 76 days - Location: US, VA, Arlington[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10490643/sr-category-manager-na-construction-global-procurement-organization) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Contracts Manager, GES Contracts](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/b98106efc1e898f97a76/) US, VA, Arlington ### [Customer Insights Lead, Global Logistics Domestic First Mile](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/98390800b65b5794a7b8/) US, VA, Arlington ### [Program Manager II, Amazon Customs and Trade, Amazon Customs and Trade](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/2549a7bcd7055b86b012/) US, VA, Arlington ### [Senior Category Manager - Global Health & Safety Procurement, Global Procurement Organization (GPO)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/3eccc45016518156e83c/) US, VA, Arlington ### [Senior Program Manager, Global Corporate Procurement](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/1ec05443b5debcc1de61/) US, VA, Arlington ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Global Procurement Category Lead Engineering and Construction](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/csl/jobs/8c639616d500c1596784/) CSL · Americas, US, Remote, CSL Behring ### [Category Sourcing Analyst II - Procurement](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/cargill/jobs/0e014823f1e9a7de950b/) Cargill · Wayzata, Minnesota +1 more ### [Strategic Sourcing Category Manager, Construction](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/kroger/jobs/b3bcbaaa36ed02e06f97/) Kroger · Cincinnati, OH, United States ### [Principal Global Category Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/63be09c14240de8870c2/) Microsoft · United States, Multiple Locations ### [Global Procurement Category Lead - Market Insights & Patient Services](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ucb/jobs/6206e84adf024d7cb061/) UCB · Atlanta, Georgia, United States [Jobs in Arlington, VA](/locations/us/va/arlington/)[Jobs in Virginia](/locations/us-va/)[Supply Chain & Logistics jobs](/functions/supply-chain-logistics/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
