Description The Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT) team sits at the core of Amazon's global supply chain - determining what inventory to buy, when to buy it, how much to order, where to position it, and how to recover value from unproductive inventory - all to delight customers while meeting Amazon's business objectives. Operating at massive scale across hundreds of product lines and billions of dollars of worldwide inventory, SCOT's fully in-house, automated planning and optimization systems are among the most sophisticated in the world. Finance within SCOT is a high-impact function, partnering directly with AI and machine learning engineers, scientists, product managers, and operations leaders to shape strategy, drive investment decisions, and deliver measurable improvements to Amazon's supply chain economics. --The Role-- We're looking for a Finance Manager to serve as the financial partner for our Automated Inventory Management portfolio - a suite of systems that determine whether the right inventory is available, in the right place, in the right condition, across Amazon's global fulfillment network. You'll serve as the dedicated finance owner for this portfolio end-to-end - with high agency, a direct line to the thought leaders defining Amazon's worldwide supply chain strategy, and the autonomy to drive investment decisions at a scale few finance roles can match. We seek a candidate who is curious about how algorithms and automated systems drive business outcomes - comfortable interrogating model inputs, challenging assumptions, and asking "is this optimizing for the right thing?" You thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, and have a track record of building financial frameworks that help leadership make better choices. Key job responsibilities - Partner with Science and Product teams to develop financial strategies and drive controllership across our Automated Inventory Management systems, ensuring technology investments deliver maximum long-term free cash flow and measurable improvements to supply chain efficiency - Navigate high degrees of ambiguity to build financial models that evaluate multi-million dollar technology investments and their impact on inventory placement, availability, and cost to serve - Conduct rigorous financial assessments of identified inventory defects - including entitlement analysis, estimation accuracy, and opportunity costs - translating findings into measurable P&L impact across the network - Build and maintain metrics and audit mechanisms to evaluate algorithmic decision outcomes, flagging when models underperform and surfacing data-driven recommendations to course-correct - Develop compelling narratives and financial analyses for executive reviews - Leverage AI agents, GenAI assistants, and AI-powered data platforms to accelerate analysis, improve productivity, and continuously explore new ways to deliver higher-quality insights faster A day in the life This role sits at the intersection of finance, technology, and supply chain strategy. You'll spend your time working shoulder-to-shoulder with operations research scientists, product managers, and engineers - engaging in model design discussions, stress-testing algorithmic assumptions, and translating system behavior into financial narratives that drive strategic decisions. No two days look the same: one day you're building a financial framework to evaluate a new algorithm with an engineer; the next you're presenting findings in a VP-level review where the outcome shapes how Amazon invests in its inventory infrastructure. About the team The AIM Finance team is the financial voice for a portfolio of AI-driven systems that make millions of inventory decisions every day - and our job is to make sure those decisions translate into real P&L outcomes. We are a small, high-ownership team where everyone follows their work all the way through, from the data to the executive narrative. The culture is direct, curious, and intellectually honest. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with scientists, engineers, and product managers, ask hard questions, and show up as strategic equals. Basic Qualifications - 5+ years of tax, finance or a related analytical field experience - 4+ years of creating process improvements with automation and analysis experience - 4+ years of dissecting financial data and identifying patterns that support business strategy experience - Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, business, economics, or a related analytical field (e.g., engineering, math, computer science) Preferred Qualifications - 6+ years of identifying incomplete or inaccurate data, identifying the root cause and creating/implementing an escalation plan experience - 6+ years of solving complex business challenges by delivering accurate and timely financial models, analysis, and recommendations that have a proven impact on business (e.g., financial savings, operational improvements, or customer benefits) experience - MBA, or CPA - Experience working with large-scale data mining and reporting tools (examples: SQL, MS Access, Essbase, Cognos) and other financial systems (examples: Oracle, SAP, Lawson, JD Edwards) - Experience delivering forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis, and data interpretation of results Amazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.

About the Company

Amazon

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. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. 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.
