Description
Description
At Amazon, we're working to be the most Customer-centric company on earth. One customer experience that we’re constantly looking to take to a new level is how we fulfill and deliver their orders. Our goal is to exceed the expectations of all our customers by ensuring that their orders are delivered where and when they need them, as quickly, accurately, and cost effectively as possible. To meet this goal, Amazon is continually striving to innovate and provide best in class service levels through the introduction of pioneering new products and services in the last mile delivery space. We are doing this by building a world class last mile operation, significantly complimented by Amazon Flex. Amazon Flex works directly with independent contractors – called delivery partners – to make deliveries to our customers.
The AmFlex EU team is looking for an analytical, results-oriented person to own and drive improvements in demand planning space. In this role, you will be responsible for interacting with our business partners to understand the demand signals for Flex as a channel, and then partner with the business stakeholders and capacity planning team to optimize the plan within constraints. The goal is to influence the demand signal to optimize for cost, fill and performance while still retaining the value proposition of Flex as a channel.
This is a highly visible and critical role that requires partnering with a cross-disciplinary team of program managers, ops managers, marketing managers, data scientists, engineers, product managers, finance partners and executives across businesses. The successful candidate will be self-motivated, passionate, highly analytical and detail-oriented, possess superior inter personal and communication skills, and be comfortable working independently to drive growth and change in a fast-paced environment. Bias for action and dive deep is an absolute must, and candidates must demonstrate a superior track record of delivering results. You must have sound business judgment and the ability to think strategically with a long-term vision about this fast-growing space, while being able to execute on tactical details.
This role requires a high level of writing, judgement, influence, and ownership. You will lead with data to persuade others, own and develop strategic partnerships with internal and external customers. This means, you must be an excellent communicator and write engaging narratives and present them effectively.
Key job responsibilities
