    Job Description

    Do you want to be part of the fastest-growing business at Amazon? Amazon customers are buying their groceries on Amazon.com, from fresh produce and dairy to pantry staples, and the fulfillment network behind that experience is scaling fast. This role owns the economics of that transformation.

    This role will be part of the Grocery Fulfillment Finance team responsible for long-range financial planning, strategic investment analytics, and operational modeling. You will lead strategic initiatives such as grocery expansion, network growth, and new program evaluation across the fulfillment ecosystem. You will partner across multiple teams: Grocery FCs, Grocery DCs, Tech, and Finance and Accounting. You will bring a consultant"s lens: synthesizing existing models, stress-testing assumptions, and translating complex financial dynamics into clear strategic recommendations.

    You will not be building from scratch. You will be inheriting a sophisticated planning foundation and making it better. You will own the long-range view: refining savings entitlement models, sharpening financial glidepaths, benchmarking actuals against plan, and surfacing the "so what" that drives leadership decisions at the VP and SVP level.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own short and long-range financial planning and entitlement modeling across the Grocery Fulfillment network, including annual operating plans and 3-year and 10-year cost-to-serve glidepaths
    • Build and maintain forecasting models that connect operational inputs (volume, productivity, network topology) to financial outcomes across cost lines including freight, variable cost, fixed cost, delivery, and shipping supplies
    • Develop and stress-test savings entitlements for automation, technology, and operational improvement initiatives; translate project-level assumptions into P&L impact
    • Partner with Ops, Tech, and cross-functional Finance teams to align on plan assumptions, validate rate builds, and ensure end-to-end financial integrity from investment thesis through to P&L realization
    • Benchmark actuals against plan across planning cycles (OP1, OP2, guidance); identify structural vs. timing-driven variances and surface clear recommendations to leadership
    • Support senior leadership review cycles by preparing financial narratives, bridges, and variance analysis at the VP and SVP level
    • Serve as a strategic thought partner to business leads: synthesizing complex cost dynamics, flagging risks, and framing the "so what" that drives planning decisions
    • Maintain planning infrastructure including scenario models, input tracking tools, and reporting cadences that connect investment to financial outcomes

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa.

Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
