About The Position

Amazon Transportation Services (ATS) Tech connects our customers and our
shippers. We combine people, technology and products to deliver for our
customers at the lowest possible cost. Surface Transportation is the conveyor
belt to connect the entire Amazon supply chain. We are a technology company that
executes transportation, and we get to do it all at a scale that nobody has ever
seen!

We love what we do. We have an incredible team that works hard to change the
industry. We are inventing new things each and every day. We rolled out
technology in the last two years that rivals anything inside of the
transportation space in the last 100 years. We are growing and getting to lead
people every single day.

As our business grows, we are going to use the same technology and the same
standard best practices to build and invent all over the world. If you are
interested in growing something new and different, there is an opportunity to do
it inside of this space.

Surface Transportation is seeking an experienced and highly motivated Senior
Financial Analyst to join its Finance team. This is an exciting opportunity to
create and innovate on behalf of our customers and build the transportation
experience of the future. This role will have heavy impact and high visibility

partnership with the Operations teams as well as Finance, Accounting and
Technology. Experience with this team opens up amazing career opportunities
across Amazon, such as senior roles supporting an impressive array of business
areas, project management roles, and/or management opportunities locally,
regionally, and globally.

It is not just a truck driving down the highway. If you like taking a larger
scope identifying the most cost effective and safest way to deliver to our
customer you will enjoy transportation. This entire system has to move like a
symphony and it has to be orchestrated. It is an incredible math problem that we
have to solve; we have to put statistics and financial models behind it; we
have to put algorithms behind it, to work as a team to identify where there are gaps
in the process, and solve these issues quickly. In this role you will have a
high level of visibility and partner with cross functional teams. We help others
understand finance and are the trusted business advisors to our business teams.

We are looking for a leader who exhibits excellent attention to detail and is
comfortable with ambiguity. The successful candidate will demonstrate an ability
to influence business owners, support thoughtful decision-making, and adapt to a
rapidly evolving environment. Regular collaboration with executives and various
business units across Amazon will allow you the opportunity to exhibit your
verbal and written communication skills. A typical day in this role provides an
opportunity to improve and create new measures for business effectiveness,
innovate creative solutions utilizing large scale data mining tools, and
identify high priority projects to maximize results for key stakeholders.

The roles is focused on planning and reporting of Middle-Mile Transportation
