Description
Amazon's International Grocery Operations Finance team is looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to join the Under-The-Roof (UTR) Finance function, supporting Grocery Fulfilment Centre (GFC) and Distribution Centre (DC) operations across the UK, Italy, Spain, and Japan.
This is a high-visibility, high-impact role sitting at the intersection of financial planning, operational analytics, and reporting automation. You will serve as the FP&A and Automation Lead for the INTL UTR organisation — owning financial reporting and planning across a significant annual cost base spanning multiple sites across four countries, while acting as the primary Finance interface with Business Intelligence and Engineering teams on automation and dashboard delivery.
You will work across Operations, Accounting, Supply Chain, S&OP, and BI — influencing outcomes without formal authority, and communicating directly with VP and Director-level stakeholders worldwide. This role is suited to someone who doesn't wait to be told what to build — they identify the gap and deliver the solution.
Key job responsibilities
- Own variable cost (VCPU) reporting and planning across four INTL markets : including weekly operational decks, monthly leadership communications, and planning cycle inputs (OP1/OP2, Quarterly Guidance)
- Lead INTL UTR automation and BI initiatives : serve as the primary Finance interface with the FIRE (Finance Intelligence & Reporting Engineering) team
- Represent UTR in WW prioritisation forums and drive delivery of reporting tools and dashboards
- Own Cost Per Hour (CPH) wage planning across all INTL planning cycles : consolidating inputs from labour agencies, PxT, and Operations
- Lead UTR Finance consolidation : integrating variable cost productivity, freight-in, fixed cost, and wages into the integrated UTR view underpinning all VP/Director-level reporting
- Drive month-end close (MEC) controllership : including accrual management, cost booking, reconciliation across Accounting and PxT, and audit trail ownership across four countries
- Build and maintain executive dashboards and scorecards : including the INTL Rating Balanced Scorecard consolidating performance metrics across variable cost, productivity, fixed cost, volume, quality, and safety
- Partner with Supply Chain, Operations, and S&OP teams to identify and quantify cost reduction opportunities across transportation and fulfilment
- Challenge assumptions : proactively surface risks, question line-item spend, and push back on requests with poor ROI or unrealistic timelines
- Contribute to WW standardisation : develop scalable reporting frameworks and automation solutions that can extend beyond the INTL remit
A day in the life
No two weeks are identical — but here is a flavour of what this role looks like in practice:
: Monday morning: VCPU actuals land from the automated dashboard. You spot a process-path variance in one market, build the bridge, and have it in the leadership deck before anyone asks : Mid-week: You're on a call with the FIRE BI team reviewing wireframes for the next dashboard initiative — you're driving the requirements, not waiting on them : Dashboard development: You gather feedback from Operations and Finance users on what the current variable cost dashboard is missing — a new breakdown, a missing trend view, a cleaner summary page. You translate that into a requirements brief, align with FIRE on feasibility and prioritisation, and track the feature through to launch : Month-end: You're working with Accounting in London and Tokyo — clearing accruals, reconciling Green Badge labour invoices to actuals, ensuring the books close clean : Planning cycle: You're building wage models across four countries — pulling from MyTime and PxT, pressure-testing CPH assumptions, and stress-testing scenarios before they reach leadership : Friday: You draft the VP/Director performance email — four countries, complex drivers, distilled into a sharp executive narrative that informs decisions at the top of the organisation : Ongoing: You notice a manual process a colleague is still running in Excel. You scope an automation, bring it to FIRE, and ship it
The role rewards people who are equally comfortable in a spreadsheet and a stakeholder meeting — and who see reporting infrastructure as a strategic asset, not an administrative task.
