The Strategic Supply Chain Manager will be responsible for leading inventory management strategies to maximize customer experience, sales, margin and turns, as well as end-to-end business ownership of all supply chain processes from manufacturer to consumer. They will use data to influence others and build scalable systems & processes, rather than just addressing single issues. They will play a critical role in delivering the optimal customer experience by ensuring we have the right product quantities, in the right places, at the right time. To achieve this mission, Supply Chain Managers work to continuously optimize our end-to-end supply chain by engaging with vendors to improve operational metrics and driving system and process automation with internal teams. The successful candidate must be highly organized and possess strong data extraction and analytical capabilities. They are able to self-manage competing priorities, driving both strategic and tactical activities and parallel, and possess strong written and verbal communication skills. Strong candidates will have knowledge in fundamental business principles and previous relevant experience. The ideal candidate is able to lead and influence both internal and external teams in an ambiguous environment while maintaining a customer-centric philosophy. ### Key job responsibilities Identify and deliver operational improvement opportunities around buying and demand planning. Monitor and identify opportunities to improve key supply chain metrics such as Out of Stock rate, Overstock Rate, Total Inbound Lead Time, Delivery Speed, and Confirmation/Fill Rates. Share supply chain insights and contribute to business reviews for Senior Leadership (verbal and written). Identify opportunities to optimize our supply chain cost structure and profitability through vendor engagement, project management, and collaboration with partner teams on system improvements. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 9, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 9 days - Location: ZA, Cape Town[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10574455/strategic-supply-chain-manager) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Logistics Specialist - 2027 Internship](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/e7dbb155e4aae305821f/) ZA, Cape Town ### [2027 Business Developer Intern, Amazon Payments](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/c90a84843e5065bf74df/) ZA, Cape Town ### [2027 Software Dev Engineer Intern - ZAF](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/4d6289c9b9cba695b011/) ZA, Cape Town ### [Account Manager, AVS](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/fbbd91556587e4503e18/) ZA, Cape Town ### [Category Specialist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/3ea4479201f3008587c7/) ZA, Cape Town ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Supply Chain Specialist – Strategic Projects (SBT)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/thermo-fisher-scientific/jobs/ed43e9acfa5cd5b57d8d/) Thermo Fisher Scientific · Brno, Czechia ### [サプライチェーンプログラムマネージャー (Supply Chain Program Manager-Strategic Sourcing & Procurement)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/western-digital/jobs/6e987db59ddab6d1ca27/) Western Digital · Fujisawa, Kanagawa, Japan ### [Supply Chain Associate](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/fastenal/jobs/f7863614062924348e98/) Fastenal · Bathurst, NB ### [Supply Chain Associate](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/fastenal/jobs/0dea9c4c8f30b4b60e90/) Fastenal · Brandon, MB ### [Coordinateur Supply Chain](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/totalenergies/jobs/7f3d5263a5eb16cf890a/) TotalEnergies [Supply Chain & Logistics jobs](/functions/supply-chain-logistics/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
