    Job Description

    Are you energized by solving complex supply chain challenges at a global scale? Amazon"s Global Logistics Supply Chain team is looking for a Business Analyst who will own capacity planning analyses that shape how we move products to customers faster and more efficiently. Your work directly fuels the Amazon flywheel: optimizing supply chain capacity lowers costs, improves delivery speed, and expands selection, creating a better customer experience that drives growth.

    You will develop data-driven models and recommendations that influence network decisions across our fulfillment centers, inbound cross-docks, and outbound sort centers worldwide. You will independently scope and execute analytical projects spanning 6 to 18 month planning horizons, translating complex data into clear insights for senior leaders. You will partner with Operations, Finance, Transportation, and Real Estate teams to align on capacity assumptions, identify network constraints, and drive solutions that balance cost, speed, and reliability.

    This is a high-visibility role where you will influence decisions with global impact while building scalable frameworks that can be adopted across regions.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own end-to-end capacity gap analyses using 3 to 6 month operational data, developing recommendations and presenting findings to cross-functional leadership for decision-making
    • Design and maintain automated dashboards and reporting mechanisms in Tableau or QuickSight that provide visibility into network capacity utilization across US, EU, and APAC regions
    • Partner with Operations, Finance, and Transportation stakeholders to develop long-range (6 to 18 month) supply chain models that balance cost reduction with lead time and reliability improvements
    • Drive standardization of planning methodologies across global regions by building repeatable analytical frameworks, documenting best practices, and enabling adoption by counterpart teams
    • Provide ongoing program status reporting to leadership including risks, capacity constraints, and opportunity sizing to inform strategic investment decisions

    A day in the life

    You might start your morning writing SQL queries to identify capacity bottlenecks in the inbound network, then build scenario models in Excel to evaluate solutions. After lunch, you present recommendations to Operations leaders and align on next steps. Later, you collaborate with your EU counterpart to standardize a planning methodology across regions. You balance deep analytical work with cross-functional partnership, operating with autonomy in a fast-paced, global environment.

    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 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.
