Senior Financial Analyst, SCOT- Inbound Systems

The Supply Chain Optimization Technology (SCOT) team sits at the core of Amazon's global supply chain — determining what inventory to buy, when to buy it, how much to order, and where to position it to delight customers while meeting Amazon's business objectives. Operating at massive scale across hundreds of product lines and billions of dollars of worldwide inventory, SCOT's fully in-house, automated planning and optimization systems are among the most sophisticated in the world. Finance within SCOT is a high-impact function, partnering directly with AI and machine learning engineers, scientists, product managers, and operations leaders to shape strategy, drive investment decisions, and deliver measurable improvements to Amazon's supply chain economics.

This is a high-impact senior financial analyst role supporting the Inbound and SCOT organization. In this role, you will provide critical financial analysis and insights on how the network operates, identifying opportunities for improvement and supporting operations, science, and product leaders in driving measurable P&L impact.

You will partner with the SCOT Finance and Business teams to support financial planning, analysis, and reporting activities. You will contribute to systems evaluations, perform detailed financial analyses, and support executive leadership reviews. You will be responsible for financial planning support, financial controllership activities, and developing weekly financial and operational performance metrics. This role offers visibility across Amazon leadership and requires strong analytical and communication skills along with a track record of delivering quality results.

We seek a candidate who is passionate about diving deep with data analysis and comfortable working alongside AI and automation systems that drive billion-dollar decisions in Amazon's inbound space. You should be curious about how algorithms work, willing to interrogate model outputs, and energized by building the metrics and controls that keep automated systems on track. The ability to think critically and analytically, combined with strong problem-solving skills, will be essential for success in this role.
