Amazon - Business Analyst

Over 3MM Sellers in 17 countries (and growing) list their products for sale to consumers on the Amazon.com Marketplace. Sellers are a critical part of Amazon's ecosystem to deliver on our vision of offering the earth's largest selection and lowest prices. Would you like to join a team working on something even bigger? This is a unique opportunity to be part of the International Seller Services (ISS).

In Jeff's own words (2019 Q1 shareholders letter): "Something strange and remarkable has happened over the last 20 years. Take a look at these numbers:1999 3% .. 2018 58%. The % represent the share of physical gross merchandise sales sold on Amazon by independent third-party sellers - mostly small- and medium-sized businesses - as opposed to Amazon retail's own first party sales. Third-party sales have grown from 3% of the total to 58%. To put it bluntly: Third-party sellers are kicking our first party butt. Badly... The compound annual growth rate for our first-party business in that time period is 25%. But in that same time, third-party sales have grown from $0.1 billion to $160 billion - a compound annual growth rate of 52%. ... Why were independent sellers able to grow so much faster than Amazon's own highly organized first-party sales organization? There isn't one answer, but we do know one extremely important part of the answer: We helped independent sellers compete against our first-party business by investing in and offering them the very best selling tools we could imagine and build. There are many such tools, including tools that help sellers manage inventory, process payments, track shipments, create reports, and sell across borders - and we're inventing more every year."

We are looking for a Business Analyst to join our team providing business insights and deep dives that will determine our product designs, segment focus and shape our value proposition to our Sellers.

You will be comfortable delivering these recommended solutions by retrieving and integrating artifacts in a format that is immediately useful to improve the business decision-making process. This role requires an individual with great analytical abilities as well as an outstanding business acumen. You will build dashboards that enable leaders to better understand their product/business data, assess functional business performance, and develop targeted, scalable action plans.
