Say yes to opportunities coming your way, whether that's widening your scope or doing a project outside your comfort zone. It will pay off. If someone had told me back in 2014, when I was a temporary Purchasing Assistant stamping PO numbers on invoices, that I would some day become a Senior Shipping Supplies Manager responsible for 4 different countries, I would never have believed it.

The Procurement Women Represented group (PWR) drives the attraction, retention, development, and progression of women in Procurement roles. It aims to create an inclusive environment for women, non-binary and allies, increase internal opportunities for engagement and growth, and work toward gender diversity and equity in Procurement at Amazon.
