Your work shapes how Amazon evaluates productivity, volume, and cost assumptions across 69 fulfillment centers-translating operational complexity into financial narratives that inform multi-billion dollar decisions for senior leadership. Success in Role: You are passionate about financial planning and operational analytics, with a bias for action and proven ability to build mechanisms that scale. You work backwards from the financial plan with a first-principles mindset-asking not just "what changed" but "why it changed and what it means for cost." You understand both the technical aspects planning and the business implications of planning assumptions, translating complex metrics into compelling narratives for VP-level audiences. You think big about mechanizing processes while maintaining attention to detail. You thrive in ambiguity and bring intellectual curiosity to understanding how operational drivers flow through to financial outcomes.

During planning cycles, this means coordinating inputs from upstream teams, building analytical models that translate assumptions into cost narratives, inspecting plans for errors, and producing comprehensive documents under tight timelines. Between cycles, you'll be inventing-automating manual processes, building new tools, refining methodologies, and strengthening cross-functional relationships so the next cycle runs smoother than the last.
