Central Operations refers to a new approach in Amazon Logistics to define a scalable solution to run the increasingly complex and growing last mile delivery network. Central Operations is a key strategic initiative with a vision to transform the way Amazon Logistics (AMZL) executes route planning, scheduling and last mile delivery.


We are looking for a Sr Business Analyst to join the team and drive improvement in processes and technology used within the operational team. This person will have the ability to excel and develop in new teams with a high degree of ambiguity. The role will provide opportunities to think big, develop original ideas, and partner with AMZL Planning, Transportation, Last Mile Tech, Operations and business expansion teams to develop a strategic approach to scale Central Operations.

As AMZL expands to become Europe´s largest parcel carrier the right person for this role will take a pivotal role in both prioritizing our external customers’ needs with multiple key departments KPIs. You will sit at a central junction point of the AMZL business with a unique opportunity not only help drive performance and scalability across Central Operations itself but the wider business. As the logistics landscape is continually evolving we need forward thinking focus on the next challenges we face.
What kind of questions will you play a part in answering?
· What implications does the transition to a fully electric delivery fleet have?
· How do we deal with low emission zones in cities?
· How do we increase on road efficiency?
· What is the right level of forecast accuracy at which point further accuracy is not justified vs effort?
All of the above questions are extremely wide ranging in scope; on a day to basis here at AMZL Central Operations you will have the opportunity to answer similar questions. This involves daily interaction with multiple internal and external stakeholders across the Amazon ecosystem. This translates to a mix of daily activities. You will be expected to not only pull and transform data sets but also demonstrate critical thinking, generating insights and developing proposals to manage our challenges.
