Key job responsibilities

**About this key role**:
In this role you’ll do far more than manage spreadsheets. Our ideal business analyst doesn’t just manage our books and make our ends meet; they help drive the company forward.

So while one aspect of this role is about understanding our numbers and budgets, equal aspects of the position require the big vision and drive of an ambitious Finance team member. You’ll make huge impact, not just on the bottom line performance of your Fulfilment Centre, but on the overall customer experience.

You’ll employ every facet of finance data mining to ensure your partners, colleagues and leaders have the most up to date, reliable information at hand, helping them make the best possible financial decisions they can.

**You’ll be responsible for**:

- Managing and participating in finance and accounting activities across several locations, that you will visit periodically with an expected 30% of time traveling,
- Implementing policies and programs that guide Operations towards maintaining and improving its competitive position and profitability,
- Creating a “learn by doing” environment, by engaging with the on-the-floor associates and managers,
- Partner with your team, by managing all weekly and monthly financial activities, including forecasting, planning and reporting,
- Working with data source providers and technology teams, ensuring that key decision data is accurate, automated and timely.
- Promoting and pushing recruiting efforts forward across the network, to continually hire and develop the best professionals

About the team
Customer Fulfilment, or CF, is where it all started for Amazon. CF has scaled up from a humble team of booksellers to a sophisticated global team which handles more than 1.5 million orders every day. The team is the foundation of our business and its efforts have helped us diversify across new regions and services. With the help of emerging technology, we’re always looking for ways to offer a bigger, better product range - delivered quickly and affordably.

The CF team are the first people in the chain that helps customers get products at the speed we’re known for. We’re based in Fulfilment Centres, which are at the heart of Amazon’s fast-paced Operations network. Our centres are sometimes referred to as the ‘First Mile’ because it’s where most Amazon packages start their journey. We help to manage dynamic inventory and facilitate speedy deliveries round the clock.

Lots of different people work in our Fulfilment Centres, so there are plenty of opportunities for every skillset. Some of us work with physical products, while others analyse data to help everyone across the business make smart decisions.
