Job Summary

DESCRIPTION

As Amazon continues to grow so does the demand for our Finance Operations (FinOps) data and analytics services. We are recruiting a data and analytics manager to drive Business Intelligence Business Partnering (BI BP) data strategy and lead complex programs of work, delivering the technical capabilities that enable Amazon to expand both its services and its reach.

Working with leaders around the world, you will deliver a high-quality customer experience through developing and leading strategic, cross-functional data programs. These will be aimed at delivering ongoing operational efficiency and free-cash-flow improvements through automation, upstream defect reduction and end-to-end process improvement. You will work backwards from your customer, and problem solve on their behalf. You will dive deep into their requirements, and deliver these programs through our people, processes and technology.

Business Intelligence Business Partnering (BI BP) Vision is to unify our data to be the Earth’s most accessible online company to enable high velocity data-driven decisions and execution for our customers every day. We strive to offer our customers trusted data, insights and predictions that are easy to use and understand, the best available selection, and the utmost convenience. We believe passionately in the power of data to make better decisions for our customers every day.

Great data, insight and modelling capabilities are key to improving our ability to serve our vendors and continue to lower our cost base to invest in customer experience. By gaining a more granular understanding of how cost aligns with our customer and vendor interactions, product logistics and revenues we can manage resources in an intelligent way.

This role will work closely with Business Partnering, Finance Automation, Operations, Technology and Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable vertical teams across the globe.

We’re not an average retailer and this is definitely not your average Finance position! We’ll give you the opportunity to really make a difference in a high growth environment where your ability to identify and drive change will be key. So, if you thrive in ambiguity, love solving complex problems and want to do that in Earth’s most customer-centric company, come and join us!
