Amazon • Nashville, TN

1d • $21 - $31

About The Position

Amazon’s Transportation Execution & Systems Team is seeking a Transportation
Analyst to join a team that identifies, creates, develops and integrates
innovative solutions that lead to improvements in our North American
transportation network. Amazon transportation encompasses all of the operations
that deliver worldwide shipments to and from our fulfillment centers and third
party locations. The Transportation Analyst will be responsible to design,
develop, and improve our transportation systems.

As a Transportation Analyst, you'll dive into the systems that keep Amazon's
transportation network running smoothly. Your day might include analyzing
transportation data to uncover inefficiencies, building reports that help site
operators make better decisions, or designing new metrics that track the health
of our logistics processes. You'll collaborate with leadership and operations
teams across multiple locations, translating complex data into clear insights
that drive real improvements. One moment you're retrieving data from various
sources to give visibility into upcoming changes, the next you're documenting
processes to help your teammates understand how systems work. Your work directly
influences how we optimize routes, reduce costs, and deliver packages more
effectively.

We are a collaborative team focused on identifying and developing innovative
solutions that strengthen Amazon's transportation operations. Our vision is to
build systems that are not only efficient today but scalable for tomorrow's
growth. We serve internal stakeholders ranging from site-level operators to
senior leadership, and we're committed to supporting their decision-making with
reliable data and actionable insights. You'll work alongside analysts,
engineers, and operations leaders who are passionate about continuous
improvement and solving real-world logistics challenges. Joining us means being
part of a group that values clear communication, analytical rigor, and the
impact that thoughtful systems design can have on a global operation.
