About The Position

External Fulfillment (EF) operates as team of innovators and creatives who deploy non-standard fulfillment solutions to areas of high opportunity to yield results that benefit our third party partners and Amazon as a whole. The EF team is a rare jewel that owns the end-to-end processes across the whole of Amazon's supply chain (instead of deep siloes). This would allow you to gain insight across the various systems and innovations that sets Amazon apart in the fulfillment space. We are in a growth phase, with exciting opportunities to continue to drive innovation, while having a lot of fun in the process. For this role, we are looking a tactical player who can quickly adapt to changing business needs and design solutions quickly. This role will work in an ambiguous environment and build solutions end-to-end (structuring the data, analyzing the data, visualization and/or automation. If you love working with data and solving problems, this is the role for you! Each day is a new challenge. From working with stakeholders to define requirements to designing data pipelines, you will never get bored in the mundane. Instead we strive to develop and deploy new ideas and learn new skills to both better equip our talent and push our business forward. This will be manifested in recurring reporting, dashboard design, and ad-hoc analysis for high value projects. The EF Data team is composed of four wings: Reporting (the team you'd be working on), Analytics, Data Engineering, and Science. The team values a positive and collaborative environment that fosters a standard bar of excellence, while allowing for nurturing each person's strengths, interests, and desired growth (inline with the business needs). A good fit with this team is someone who is humble, thoughtful, and enjoys supporting others, while also reliable to deliver what is needed on your own. It is an expectation that the Data team collectively informs the vision and direction of how the Data Team can best support the needs of the VF business.
