Overview
Microsoft’s Cloud business is expanding, and the Cloud Supply Chain (CSCP) organization is responsible for enabling the hardware infrastructure underlying this growth including AI. CSCP’s vision is to empower customers to achieve more by delivering Cloud and AI capabilities at scale. Our mission is to deliver the world's computer with an industry-leading supply chain. The CSCP organization is responsible for traditional supply chain functions such as plan, source, make, deliver, but also manages supportability (spares), sustainability, and decommissioning of datacenter assets worldwide. We deliver the core infrastructure and foundational technologies for Microsoft's over 200 online businesses including Bing, MSN, Office 365, Xbox Live, OneDrive and the Microsoft Azure platform for external customers. Our infrastructure is supported by more than 300 datacenters around the world that enable services for more than 1 billion customers in over 90 countries. Within CSCP, the Spares Supply Chain organization is reinventing and transforming the cloud service parts supply chain. Our goal is to ensure the right spare parts are in the right place at the right time to support global capacity requirements and make sure our customers have the cloud capacity they need when they need it. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. Responsibilities

Independently create reports, work across disparate data sets, provide data visualizations to convey key messages, data mine as necessary, and present multiple scenarios to support a recommendation (required: skills in Power BI and SQL queries). Possess foundational knowledge of supply chain functions, processes, and systems to work effectively within the discipline and cross-functionally, identifying risks and opportunities. Navigate complex BOM structures to understand spare part substitution relationships and conditional BOM logic. Develop understanding of hardware components (spares) to converse with stakeholders across the organization including Hardware; Quality Engineering, Materials Master, Sourcing, and Data Center Operations. Understand how to manage part lifecycle transitions to mitigate risk of obsolete, aged, and excess inventory. Familiarity with reverse supply chain activities (returns, warranty redemption, repair operations, parts harvesting from decommissioned hardware). Project management to drive small to medium projects, balance priorities, and influence teams to gather inputs required to move initiatives forward. Support vision and future state process and systems roadmap with clear articulation of current state opportunities and systems thinking.
