　　Amazon’s Inventory Planning team is looking for experienced business intelligence engineers (BIEs) to identify and develop strategic initiatives to form our next generation inventory planning processes. The charter of the Supply Chain Optimization Technology group is to maximize the return on our inventory investment in terms of Free Cash Flow and customer satisfaction. We accomplish this through the determination of how much inventory Amazon needs to stock of each SKU in each of its fulfillment centers. This puts the Inventory Planning group at the nexus of operations, logistics, capacity planning, and our retail business teams.

You will analyze the potential customer and financial impacts, select the most promising ideas, prioritize them, and create a cohesive roadmap that integrates them into our platform. You will also evangelize new features to our clients, working to accelerate feature adoption, track the realized impacts, and communicate results with the local senior leadership.

　　This is a highly visible role that requires partnering with WW Retail, Finance, and Operations teams to impact Amazon’s bottom line. You must have the experience and capability to prepare documentation for senior executives and align your roadmap with Amazon’s strategic objectives. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are a necessity. Successful candidates should excel at diving into data in order to analyze root causes and implement simple, long term solutions.
