Amazon Supply Chain forms the backbone of the fastest growing ecommerce business in the world. The sheer growth of the business and the company's mission "to be Earth’s most customer-centric company” makes the customer fulfilment business bigger and more complex with each passing year.
Our Supply Chain team is responsible for planning and executing the network for our UK fulfilment business. We work closely with Amazon’s Fulfillment Centers (FCs), Transportation, Retail and Finance teams, orchestrating the upstream and downstream partners to exceed customer expectations while optimizing end-to-end supply chain speed and cost.
We are looking for an analytical and driven Supply Chain Analyst to join our team. In this role, an Execution Supply Chain Analyst will seek out problems, dive deep into data, earn trust of partner teams, and deliver results that can have a large scale influence. This role is a blend of short term execution and long term strategic planning, that requires quick decision-making, with incomplete data, while also thinking big and influencing the long term direction of the network.
You will be responsible for driving EU level strategic projects and change initiatives in collaboration with multiple stakeholders and in alignment with senior management. You will also work on key analytical projects to drive smarter and optimal decisions within the team.
The end goal of this role is to answer the question of how we can fulfill more products to our customers in a safer, faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective manner.

Customer Fulfilment, or CF, is where it all started for Amazon. CF has scaled up from a humble team of booksellers to a sophisticated global team which handles more than 1.5 million orders every day.
