Senior Finance Analyst, US Non-Sort Operations Finance

About the role

Are you energized by turning complex data into clear financial recommendations? Amazon's US Non-Sort Finance team is looking for a Financial Analyst to support inventory placement economics across our fulfillment network. You will build and own the cost and profitability models behind cross-dock placement decisions, deliver recurring reporting that tracks performance against plan, and partner with operations teams to quantify the financial impact of process improvements.

Inbound inventory reaches the US Non-Sort fulfillment network through three cross-dock options: first-party Non-Sort Inbound Cross-Docks (NSXD), third-party cross-docks operated through Amazon Global Logistics (AGL), and Under-the-Roof cross-docks co-located inside Fulfillment Centers. Each option carries its own cost structure, and the decision about where inventory gets placed drives both cross-dock cost and downstream transportation cost. This team owns the profitability framework behind those placement decisions and the data foundation that framework runs on.

Key job responsibilities

• Build and maintain cost and profitability models in Excel for first-party, third-party, and co-located cross-dock options, ensuring data definitions and inputs are reliable enough to support placement decisions.
• Own recurring placement economics reporting, tracking Variable Cost Per Unit (VCPU) and total cost to serve against plan, and surface the drivers behind each variance.
• Partner with site and operations teams on cost reduction execution, quantifying the financial impact of process changes and facility investments and validating results after implementation.
• Support fee structure and ShipCOGS recovery analysis, building financial models that inform how placement is priced and where downstream savings are captured.
• Identify opportunities to automate reporting and improve financial processes, audit your own work and cross-team inputs for accuracy, and share findings with partners to drive data-informed decisions.

A day in the life

• You start by reviewing overnight data refreshes and checking your Excel-based financial models for any cost variances across the three cross-dock options.
• Mid-morning, you join a working session with site finance partners to walk through a proposed process change and pressure-test the savings estimate you built.
• After lunch you might deep-dive into a VCPU trend that moved off plan, trace it to a root cause, and draft a concise summary for leadership review.
• Throughout the day you balance recurring reporting with ad-hoc analysis requests, always looking for ways to sharpen the data or simplify a workflow.

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of tax, finance or a related analytical field experience
• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting or related field
• 3+ years of contributing to cross-functional initiatives that drive financial performance and strategy experience
• 3+ years of dissecting financial data and identifying patterns that support business strategy experience

Preferred Qualifications

• 4+ years of participating in continuous improvement projects in your team to scale and improve controllership with measurable results experience
• Experience working with large-scale data mining and reporting tools (examples: SQL, MS Access, Essbase, Cognos) and other financial systems (examples: Oracle, SAP, Lawson, JD Edwards)
