Sr Financial Analyst, Perishable Fulfillment

Do you want to be part of the fastest-growing business at Amazon? Amazon customers are buying their groceries on Amazon.com — from fresh produce and dairy to pantry staples — and the fulfillment network behind that experience is scaling fast. This role owns the economics of that transformation.

This is the single-threaded finance authority on automation and grocery fulfillment economics across the Perishable network. You will model the economics of new technology investments that power how Amazon picks, packs, and delivers groceries to customers' doors — quantifying labor savings entitlements and building the financial glidepath for each program's path to value realization.

You'll define what each deployment should deliver financially, partner with Biz Ops to derive achievable plans, benchmark performance against those plans, and push back when assumptions don't hold.

This is a greenfield opportunity — you'll build the financial tracking framework that connects entitlement to realization, creating visibility that doesn't exist today and shaping how Amazon measures the ROI of grocery automation at scale.

Key job responsibilities

Automation Buildout Economics & Glidepath

• Own the financial modeling for automation deployments in Perishable — what does each investment cost, what should it save, and over what timeline
• Build the financial glidepath for automation's path to value — year-over-year milestones tied to specific deployment phases and labor savings assumptions
• Partner closely with biz ops to co-develop achievable entitlements — not finance-in-a-vacuum targets, but plans the operators believe in and will execute against
• Quantify labor savings entitlements from each deployment — translate technology investments into hours saved, headcount avoided, and P&L impact
• Track CAPEX actuals vs. CAR approval — flag overruns, explain variances, maintain the investment tracker
• Support the CAR process: prepare financial models and white papers for capital approval requests
• Benchmark automation economics against comparable deployments (internal and external) to validate assumptions and identify gaps
• Push back when business cases don't hold up — challenge cost assumptions, timeline optimism, and savings claims with data

Project Fusion Financial Glidepath & Entitlement

• Own Fusion's financial glidepath to profitability — define the path, set milestones, track progress, course-correct
• Model Fusion initiative entitlements — quantify what each workstream should deliver and connect to P&L lines
• Partner with biz ops and the GFC field to derive achievable plans — pressure-test assumptions, align on commitments, and ensure the plan is executable
• Track Fusion initiative performance vs. entitlement on an ongoing basis; flag when workstreams are underperforming their commitment
• Close the loop: ensure entitlements don't just get set and forgotten — own the cadence of tracking, escalation, and course correction
• Feed Fusion savings and cost inputs into OP1/OP2 planning cycles

Business Partnership & Influence

• Serve as the finance partner to automation and Fusion program teams — embedded in their rhythm of business
• Translate technology deployment metrics into financial language for leadership
• Surface financial trade-offs that program teams may not see (e.g., "this deployment saves labor but the CAPEX payback extends beyond 3 years — is that acceptable?")
• Influence investment prioritization by providing clear, comparable economics across competing automation opportunities

Basic Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

• 4+ years of participating in continuous improvement projects in your team to scale and improve controllership with measurable results experience
