Are you energized by solving complex supply chain challenges at a global scale? Amazon's Global Logistics Supply Chain team is looking for a Business Analyst who will own capacity planning analyses that shape how we move products to customers faster and more efficiently. Your work directly fuels the Amazon flywheel: optimizing supply chain capacity lowers costs, improves delivery speed, and expands selection, creating a better customer experience that drives growth.
You will develop data-driven models and recommendations that influence network decisions across our fulfillment centers, inbound cross-docks, and outbound sort centers worldwide. You will independently scope and execute analytical projects spanning 6 to 18 month planning horizons, translating complex data into clear insights for senior leaders. You will partner with Operations, Finance, Transportation, and Real Estate teams to align on capacity assumptions, identify network constraints, and drive solutions that balance cost, speed, and reliability.
This is a high-visibility role where you will influence decisions with global impact while building scalable frameworks that can be adopted across regions.
Key job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end capacity gap analyses using 3 to 6 month operational data, developing recommendations and presenting findings to cross-functional leadership for decision-making
- Design and maintain automated dashboards and reporting mechanisms in Tableau or QuickSight that provide visibility into network capacity utilization across US, EU, and APAC regions
- Partner with Operations, Finance, and Transportation stakeholders to develop long-range (6 to 18 month) supply chain models that balance cost reduction with lead time and reliability improvements
- Drive standardization of planning methodologies across global regions by building repeatable analytical frameworks, documenting best practices, and enabling adoption by counterpart teams
- Provide ongoing program status reporting to leadership including risks, capacity constraints, and opportunity sizing to inform strategic investment decisions
A day in the life
You might start your morning writing SQL queries to identify capacity bottlenecks in the inbound network, then build scenario models in Excel to evaluate solutions.

You balance deep analytical work with cross-functional partnership, operating with autonomy in a fast-paced, global environment.
