From there, you'll partner with a diverse set of stakeholders and senior leadership who drive execution across the business. Beyond strategic planning , the role also includes ownership of broad, cross-functional projects from integrating emerging business lines into existing processes or spearheading efforts to embed AI-driven solutions into how the team plans and operates. The combination of strategic influence, executive exposure, and a wide stakeholder network makes this a high-visibility role with broad impact across the organization.

The successful candidate will demonstrate strong financial modeling skills, technical aptitude to work through large data sets, and the ability to clearly distill analysis into insights for stakeholders at all levels. They will support sound decision-making and thrive in a fast-moving environment. Collaboration with leaders and business units across Amazon is central to the role. On any given day, you can expect to build creative analytical solutions using large-scale data tools, model the financial impact of key strategic decisions, prioritize the work that moves the needle most for stakeholders, and tackle complex problems with company-wide implications.
