What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Financial Analyst, Inbound Operations Finance position at Amazon?
Description
Join our team as a Financial Analyst II supporting finance operations and technology transformation within the IXD network. You will use data analytics, AI tools, and financial fundamentals to support standardization and automation across finance processes, contributing to efforts that reduce manual work by 40-50%. This role offers an opportunity to participate in transforming traditional financial reporting through AI-enabled automation while delivering insights that help optimize supply chain operations.
In this position, you will support the development of scalable financial controllership frameworks that grow independently of building count and enable the transformation from a site-centric to hub-based structure. You'll analyze operational metrics to produce financial insights, help balance standardization with network-specific needs, and execute on AI-enabled finance transformation initiatives that have tangible business impact. If you thrive in an environment where speed matters and continuous improvement is expected, this role offers a strong foundation in strategic finance with hands-on tactical execution.
Key job responsibilities
Analyze operational data to surface financial insights that support cost optimization and business performance, leveraging Amazon's established financial processes, internal controls, and existing tools within defined frameworks.
Build and maintain reporting mechanisms for anomaly detection and trend analysis, translating complex data into clear, digestible insights for finance and operations managers.
Support operations teams in validating business case assumptions, tracking performance metrics, and executing on automated reporting systems that reduce manual work by 40-50%.
Investigate data discrepancies and execute fixes to ensure reporting accuracy, flagging risks and recommending improvements to remediate gaps in financial controls.
Work with cross-functional partners in finance, operations, supply chain, and technology to contribute to standardized processes and financial playbooks that scale independently of building count.
A day in the life
Your day begins with analyzing operational data to identify cost optimization opportunities across the Distribution Center network, specifically Storage and Distribution Centers, Amazon Warehousing and Distribution Centers and newly launching, Regional Distribution Center (rDC) network. You'll spend time developing or refining AI-powered dashboards that automatically detect anomalies and visualize trends. Throughout the day, you'll partner with operations teams to validate business assumptions, contribute to automated reporting systems, and participate in cross-functional councils where you'll provide financial perspectives on strategic operational decisions. You'll balance your analytical work with collaborative sessions, driving data quality improvements and system integration while validating productivity metrics.
