Description

Want to help accelerate Amazon's energy transition to net zero while keeping the lights on across one of the world's largest fulfillment and transportation networks? We're looking for a senior procurement leader to own energy utility strategy — ensuring affordable, reliable, and resilient power for our global operations.

Your primary focus will be strategically engaging electric and gas utilities for load planning, power availability, tariff optimization, and grid resiliency — lowering cost and improving reliability at existing sites while securing capacity for new launches. You'll manage energy supply partnerships and competitive procurement across deregulated markets, develop forward purchasing strategies to manage cost exposure, and build category strategies that directly impact how Amazon grows and delivers for customers.

Beyond utilities, you'll have the opportunity to shape our broader energy portfolio — from onsite renewables and battery storage to emerging technologies — as the team and your expertise evolve.

We're a team that ruthlessly prioritizes, reinvents rather than preserves, and embraces discomfort as a path to growth. If you thrive in ambiguity, think big about decarbonization, and want to solve problems at a scale few companies can offer — this is your role.

Key job responsibilities
- Develop and execute energy utility sourcing strategies across regulated and deregulated markets — including tariff optimization, load planning, power availability, and grid resiliency for existing and new launch sites
- Negotiate contracts with electric and gas utilities, retail energy providers, and energy services firms to deliver lower cost and improved reliability at scale
- Build and manage forward purchasing strategies to reduce energy cost exposure and price volatility across the portfolio
- Oversee third-party energy supply partners — setting objectives, monitoring performance, and ensuring delivery against cost and resiliency targets
- Provide energy market intelligence to internal stakeholders — anticipating regulatory shifts, rate changes, and strategic opportunities across key markets
- Identify and deliver measurable savings and sustainability outcomes; track performance against targets and escalate risks with action plans
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Engineering, Sustainability, and Finance teams to align energy strategy with business growth priorities
- Contribute to the team's broader energy portfolio strategy — including onsite renewables, storage, and emerging grid technologies — as opportunities arise

A day in the life
No two days look alike. You might start with a utility rate case analysis, shift into a contract negotiation with a regional energy provider, then join a cross-functional call with Operations and Engineering teams to assess power requirements for a new site launch. Your customers are the sites and networks that keep Amazon delivering — and you'll balance their near-term cost needs with long-term resiliency planning, often in the same meeting. You'll translate complex energy market dynamics into clear recommendations and move quickly when opportunities or risks emerge. Expect ambiguity, autonomy, and impact in equal measure.

About the team
We're the Energy Category team within Amazon's Global Procurement Organization — sourcing electric and gas utilities, power generators, microgrids, onsite renewables and storage, hydrogen, fuel cells, and energy services across global fulfillment and transportation operations.

Our goals: reduce cost to serve, mitigate supply risk, advance sustainability, and scale procurement with technology — especially AI. We also champion a one-procurement culture, driving joint sourcing across Amazon business units for greater economies of scale.

This is a pivotal moment — energy demand is surging with Amazon's growth, and how we source it will define our cost structure for decades.
