    Job Description

    Are you ready to drive financial strategy for one of Amazon"s most complex logistics networks? Amazon Logistics (AMZL) is transforming last-mile delivery across North America, and we"re looking for a strategic finance partner to own the full Under the Roof (UTR) cost stack for NA Central-a portfolio spanning 500+ delivery stations. In this high-visibility role, you"ll independently lead financial planning cycles, challenge multi-organizational transportation plans with data-driven insights, and design scalable processes that improve cost visibility across the network.

    This isn"t a typical analyst role. You"ll operate with significant autonomy, navigating ambiguity across Topology, Planning Process Technology, and Operations stakeholders to influence decisions at senior leadership levels. If you thrive on solving complex problems, building trusted partnerships with business leaders, and creating lasting impact through strategic financial planning, this is your opportunity to shape the future of AMZL"s cost performance.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own end-to-end financial planning and analysis for the NA Central AMZL UTR cost stack, independently driving quarterly and annual operating plan cycles while ensuring accuracy and alignment across 500+ stations
    • Challenge business partner assumptions and transportation plans across multiple organizations using rigorous financial modeling, data analysis, and strategic problem-solving to deliver actionable recommendations to senior leaders
    • Design and implement scalable financial planning processes and mechanisms that enhance cost visibility, improve controllership, and drive long-term value across the delivery network
    • Partner with Operations, Network Planning, and cross-functional stakeholders to analyze cost variances, identify controllership risks proactively, and present trade-off analyses that influence decisions at the director level and above
    • Mentor and develop junior analysts on analytical approach, financial modeling techniques, and business partnership skills while contributing to the broader Finance community through knowledge sharing and best practice documentation

    A day in the life

    Your morning begins by reviewing UTR cost variances and flagging emerging risks to leadership. Mid-day, you"ll lead or contribute to cross-functional planning syncs and bridge reviews with Operations and Network Planning teams. Afternoons are spent building and refining financial models for upcoming planning cycles, conducting deep-dive root cause analyses on cost misses, and coaching junior team members on analytical techniques. You"ll also respond to urgent requests and present trade-off analyses to senior leaders, balancing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

    About the team

    The North America AMZL Finance team supports financial planning and controllership across the last-mile delivery network. We partner directly with Operations and Network Planning leaders to drive cost performance across hundreds of delivery stations, delivering insights that shape multi-million dollar decisions. Our culture emphasizes high ownership, data-driven decision making, and constructive collaboration-we challenge plans thoughtfully and take pride in delivering compounding results.

    Looking ahead, we"re focused on scaling our planning processes and deepening our partnership with the business as AMZL continues its rapid growth. This is an opportunity to join a team where your analytical rigor and strategic thinking will directly influence the future of Amazon"s delivery network.

    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. 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.
