Delivering on Amazon's customer promise depends on having the right vehicles, in the right place, at the right cost. The fleet business powering last mile operations across EU and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) is scaling rapidly into new vehicle types and new geographies, and the Sourcing team needs a Senior Sourcing Manager to help keep pace. In this 12-month fixed-term role, you will own sourcing for assigned fleet categories across both branded (OEM) and variable (rental) last mile fleet — identifying supply options, negotiating terms, and securing committed capacity. On the branded side, you will lead OEM engagement for the MENA region, building the commercial case to secure vehicle capacity. On the rental side, you will grow the supplier portfolio through the Fleet Exchange Marketplace, onboarding new suppliers across EU with a particular focus on southern European markets. If you are a self-starter who enjoys supplier negotiations, data-backed analysis, and working in a business that moves fast, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end sourcing for assigned EU/MENA fleet categories, from identifying supply options to negotiating terms and securing committed capacity across both branded and variable (rental) last mile fleet.
- Lead OEM engagement for the MENA region, preparing commercial cases and running supplier discussions to secure vehicle capacity for Amazon last mile operations.
- Grow the rental supplier portfolio through the Fleet Exchange Marketplace by sourcing new leads and onboarding suppliers onto the platform across EU, with a focus on Italy, Spain, and France.
- Build data-backed sourcing models and analysis to support recommendations to senior leaders, and influence internal stakeholders to secure alignment on sourcing decisions.
- Develop and improve sourcing processes and standards that can scale across markets, mentoring team members and sharing best practices as the programme expands.

A day in the life
You begin by reviewing supplier pipeline data and checking progress on open negotiations. Mid-morning, you join a call with an OEM partner in the MENA region to walk through your commercial proposal and address their questions. After lunch, you shift focus to the Fleet Exchange Marketplace, following up with a prospective rental supplier in Italy to move them through onboarding. Later, you pull together a sourcing recommendation for leadership, pressure-testing your assumptions with a colleague from the capacity planning team before finalizing.

About the team
The Sourcing team sits within the Fleet Strategy and Supply Chain organization, part of Global Fleet and Products at Amazon. We own supplier engagement for the fleet that powers last mile operations across EU and MENA, spanning branded fleet sourced through OEM relationships and variable fleet sourced through a growing ecosystem of rental suppliers. Our closest partners include capacity and fleet planning, supply chain, vehicle engineering, and electrification. We are preparing the fleet model for the next generation of transportation — new vehicle form factors, micromobility, and expansion into new markets — and we are looking for people who want to help build that future.

Basic qualifications

- Bachelor's degree or above in engineering, project management, operations, logistics, supply chain or related field
- Experience handling multiple competing priorities and complex projects with multiple stakeholders (e.g. definition of accurate network expansion plans, vendor development, quality assurance, design and cost improvement, team and stakeholder engagement)
- Experience in negotiations with global suppliers with a proven track record in cost reduction
