Amazon Finance Manager, Strategic Sourcing - SCOT Finance in New York, New York

Description

At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright and driven people. If you'd like to help us build the place to find and buy anything online, this is your chance to make history.

The Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT) Finance team is seeking a Finance Manager to support Strategic Sourcing. This team owns a portfolio of systems and programs that decide: if and when we should source a product, from which vendor and at what cost; the ideal supply chain setup (e.g. Pallet vs. Truckload or Vendor Initiated PO); when the vendor should ship/deliver inventory to Amazon FCs; which inbound lanes for pre-allocated transportation with how many shipments; and how much/when we should penalize vendors for supply chain defects through chargebacks. Collectively, these decisions reduce out of stock rates for our customers while optimizing sourcing costs and improving vendor experience (VX) and performance of our vendors. You will work directly with a global team of operations research scientists, economists, machine learning specialists, software developers, and product managers who lead the industry in the development of innovative strategies to maximize long term profitability.

This is a perfect position for someone who knows how to drive consensus across stakeholders, work fast, and smart. Your experience has taught you how to look around corners and surface issues before they arise. You are passionate about finding simple solutions to complex problems, and data-driven decisions. You are deeply curious about how to use statistical modelling to drive the right business outcomes at scale. You are obsessed with our customer and understand the importance of making choices that are beneficial in the long-term. You are able to navigate complex topics and dive deep to understand the root cause of unexpected anecdotes, without losing sight of the full picture. You know which details make all the difference, and which ones don’t add value. You know the difference between spending time wisely and wasting time.

Key job responsibilities

  • Support Strategic Sourcing and Vendor Selection programs that influence nearly all buying decisions for the Retail business, resulting in millions of decisions every day and billions of dollars every month.

  • Collecting, analyzing, and managing quantitative data to create meaningful reports to lead business improvement and cost reductions
