Where will Amazon's growth come from next year? In five years? Which product lines are staged to quintuple in size, and which ones are mature? Are we investing enough in our infrastructure, or too much? How will our customers react to changes in prices, or selection, or delivery speed? The SCOT Long-Term Planning and Forecasting (LTPF) team works to answer these key questions.
The Supply Chain Optimization Technology (SCOT) team owns Amazon's global inventory planning systems: SCOT decides what, when, where, and how much inventory to buy in order to meet customer needs as well as Amazon's business goals. We do this for millions of items, for hundreds of product lines worth billions of dollars of inventory world-wide. Our systems are built entirely in-house, and represent the forefront of automated large scale supply chain planning and optimization systems.. SCOT LTPF is responsible for long-term forecasting and planning across Topline, Inventory, and Capacity — helping Amazon plan key metrics including ordered units and GMS, inventory units and cost, and FC building capacity and topology (size and location).
SCOT LTPF is looking for a Business Intelligence Engineer to support the team. LTPF BI Engineers build and maintain analytical tools supporting Topline, Inventory, and Capacity planning, and engage with internal stakeholders and external consumers of LTPF forecasts to ensure they have timely data in the right context to answer key business questions. The ideal candidate will have experience in leading analytics projects including but not limited to: forecasting, business monitoring, business intelligence and data visualization. The candidate should also have experience mapping analytical solutions to business problems in the most ambiguous environments with a track record of making data easy to consume for end users.
