Amazon Amazon · Big Tech · Tempe, AZ · Business Intelligence

This role is for a Business Analyst on the Production Planning Team at Amazon, focusing on labor planning for their fulfillment network.

The role requires strong analytical and dive deep skills, experience with Excel, SQL, and data visualization tools, and the ability to make business recommendations. It does not involve directly building or shipping AI/ML models as its core craft.
