Job Description
North American Sort Centers (NASC) are looking for a bar raising manager to help drive the investment strategy for our multibillion-dollar transportation network. NASC is part of the Amazon transportation organization which enables next day free delivery for Prime members and 7 days a week delivery for our customers. Every day several million packages from multiple fulfillment centers across the US and Canada arrive in one of the ~100 sort centers where they are sorted to specific last mile delivery locations, in effect consolidating volumes going to the same place, which improves truck utilization and reduces transportation costs. Since launching operations in 2013, we have provided billions of dollars of savings to Amazon, improved shipping times for our customers and enabled delivery 7 days a week - our growing presence in logistics space led Amazon to be one of the top 5 logistic operators on the planet.
The NASC team based in Bellevue, WA is responsible for the FP&A, investment strategy and new transportation initiatives for this operation. This is an exciting opportunity to partner cross-functionally to ensure proper controllership, informed decision making, innovation and sustainability in processes for a growing network. Experience on this team opens up varying career opportunities across Amazon such as transitions to other business lines, project management roles, and/or management opportunities locally, regionally, and globally.

A successful candidate effectively influences business partners, provides sound and thoughtful recommendations, and manages competing priorities in a quickly changing environment.

- Lead the development of financial models and supporting documentation to formalize investment decisions with Amazon leaders.
- Design and build processes that improve the level of automation and scalability of the aforementioned activities.
