Our finance team closely partners to support this rapidly expanding business while building a portfolio of delivery stations, vans, and technology to deliver customers' packages on time - often next day, sometimes faster.

This is a fast-paced, high visibility role with stakeholders and leaders across Middle Mile operations, Safety, Finance, Accounting, Legal, and Risk. There will many opportunities to make a big impact.

This role is responsible for month-end close, weekly forecasting, planning, and reporting for Middle Mile on-road corporate claims and admin costs. This role will partner closely with the Global Risk team to understand claim development trends, including case reserves and claim closure strategies that impact NA Operations P&L and balance sheet reserves. Key responsibilities include understanding and articulating overarching business trends in Middle Mile and Amazon Transportation, analyzing cost drivers, and supporting data-driven decision-making. This role also owns working with Middle Mile Finance to drive process improvement in claims allocation methodology to supply and channel type. The role requires consolidating financial data for planning cycles and leading strategic initiatives, including developing claim analytics to improve forecasting accuracy, contributing to leadership Business Review documents, and driving focus on underlying root cause of claims and safety incident reduction initiatives.

To be successful, this role requires strong communication skills and executive presence to interface directly with both finance and non-finance leaders across multiple lines of business and influence without authority. At times, this may also mean revisiting decisions and re-aligning across multiple stakeholders on a new (sometimes unpopular) direction through presenting updated, compelling analysis to senior leadership. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical and financial modeling skills, excel in stakeholder management, and demonstrate expertise in conducting thorough, insightful analyses of large datasets.
