Sr Business Intelligence Engineer III, SCOT - Long Term Planning and Forecasting

Job :  |  Services LLC

Where will Amazon's growth come from next year? In five years? Which product lines are staged to quintuple in size, and which ones are mature? Are we investing enough in our infrastructure, or too much? How will our customers react to changes in prices, or selection, or delivery speed? The SCOT Long-Term Planning and Forecasting (LTPF) team works to answer these key questions.

The Supply Chain Optimization Technology (SCOT) team owns Amazon's global inventory planning systems: SCOT decides what, when, where, and how much inventory to buy in order to meet customer needs as well as Amazon's business goals. We do this for millions of items, for hundreds of product lines worth billions of dollars of inventory world-wide. Our systems are built entirely in-house, and represent the forefront of automated large scale supply chain planning and optimization systems.

SCOT LTPF is responsible for long‑term forecasting and planning across Topline, Inventory, and Capacity — helping Amazon plan key metrics including ordered units and GMS, inventory units and cost, and FC building capacity and topology (size and location).

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable analytical solutions, dashboards, and data pipelines using Amazon Quick Sight, SQL, and AWS services to track forecast performance across Topline, Inventory, and Capacity planning — ensuring solutions are extensible, well‑architected, and easy for others to maintain.
• Partner with scientists, engineers, product managers, and cross‑functional stakeholders to gather requirements, prioritize initiatives, and deliver data solutions that drive to root cause.
• Build and optimize data models, ETL processes, and automated reporting mechanisms that enable data‑driven decision making across the organization.
• Identify and implement opportunities to integrate generative AI into analytical tools and processes, accelerating insight generation and automating reporting workflows.
• Conduct deep‑dive analyses to identify trends, patterns, and opportunities for improvement, leading the analytics strategy for complex and ambiguous business questions independently.
• Identify and mitigate data quality issues, dependencies, and bottlenecks; escalate and drive resolution as needed.
• Take the lead on large projects from start to finish — developing project plans, tracking milestones, and communicating findings effectively to management audiences.
• Influence the team's analytics strategy and drive best practices in data modeling, metric definitions, and code quality — continuously improving processes and tools.
• Mentor and develop other team members; participate in hiring and technical assessments.

LTPF BI Engineers focus on how our customers use our forecasts and plans, and ensuring it's as easy as possible to access and understand them. We serve on the front lines of forecast and plan validation as a proxy for our customers, making sure changes across Topline, Inventory, and Capacity are well understood and clearly communicated. We develop reports and data access points that answer key questions about forecast performance, inventory positioning, and capacity planning — and work with science and engineering teams to resolve forecast and planning questions.
