Join our Strategy, Policy, Escalations, and Resolutions team and help shape how AWS makes data-driven decisions that impact our business at scale. As a Senior Business & Process Analyst, you"ll work at the intersection of operations, data analytics, and strategic planning to resolve complex sales compensation and sales planning escalations while developing scalable solutions that drive revenue impacting decisions across our global organization.

Key job responsibilities

  • Resolve sales planning and compensation escalations for global business units while maintaining clear communication with stakeholders throughout the resolution process
  • Analyze escalation data to identify trends, patterns, and systemic issues, then develop recommendations to reduce escalations and transform them into business insights
  • Design and implement automated solutions using both agentic and non-agentic tools to enable your team to independently handle incidents that previously required further escalation
  • Translate complex business problems and analytical findings into clear, actionable recommendations and work with stakeholders to implement solutions
  • Present program status, insights, and decisions to leadership through weekly, monthly, and quarterly business reviews, demonstrating the connection between operational improvements and business goals

A day in the life

In this role, you"ll focus on resolving sales planning and compensation escalations while identifying opportunities to prevent them from happening in the first place. You might start your day reviewing escalation patterns to spot systemic issues based on cases you and other team members have resolved, then collaborate with sales operations leaders to understand their challenges and translate those into analysis requirements. You"ll spend time developing automated solutions to help the team handle more cases independently, reducing the need for further escalation. Throughout the week, you"ll present insights to leadership, work cross-functionally with support teams to benchmark best practices, and continuously refine processes using methodologies like Lean and Agile. Your work directly influences how we ensure correct seller payments and maintain agility to meet business needs.

Our team works to support data-driven decision-making that is fundamental to our business success. We serve sales operations professionals, sales leaders, and support teams. Together, we"re building a future where escalation processes are streamlined, automated, and generate actionable business intelligence. You"ll work alongside analysts, operations leaders, and stakeholders across the organization who are committed to solving complex problems and driving continuous improvement. We value your perspective and your ability to connect operational challenges to strategic business goals.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

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.
