Business Analyst, External Fulfillment

DESCRIPTION

External Fulfillment (EF) operates as team of innovators and creatives who deploy non-standard fulfillment solutions to areas of high opportunity to yield results that benefit our third party partners and Amazon as a whole. The EF team is a rare jewel that owns the end-to-end processes across the whole of Amazon's supply chain (instead of deep siloes). This would allow you to gain insight across the various systems and innovations that sets Amazon apart in the fulfillment space.

We are in a growth phase, with exciting opportunities to continue to drive innovation, while having a lot of fun in the process. For this role, we are looking a tactical player who can quickly adapt to changing business needs and design solutions quickly.

This role will work in an ambiguous environment and build solutions end-to-end (structuring the data, analyzing the data, visualization and/or automation. If you love working with data and solving problems, this is the role for you!

Key job responsibilities

• Develop methods and metrics that provide insights to business, operations, and retail teams
• Recognize and adopt best practices in reporting: data integrity, test design, analysis, validation, and documentation
• Write quality code to retrieve and analyze data
• Understand data resources and know how, when, and which to use (and which not to use)
• Continue to move forward in the face of ambiguity and imperfect data. Find a solution around the problem that still maintains a high analytical bar.
• Ensure that decisions are based on the merit of their unbiased data, not the proposer. Stay “true to the data”.
• Clearly communicate results and techniques, both verbally and in writing to peers and business partners.
• Automate reoccurring tasks across Operations and Business teams using SQL/Python.

A day in the life

Each day is a new challenge. From working with stakeholders to define requirements to designing data pipelines, you will never get bored in the mundane. Instead we strive to develop and deploy new ideas and learn new skills to both better equip our talent and push our business forward. This will be manifested in recurring reporting, dashboard design, and ad-hoc analysis for high value projects.
