At Amazon, we are committed to being the most customer-centric company on earth. The MENA Supply Chain organization is comprised of high-powered, dynamic teams shaping network execution through the development and application of innovative supply chain design and management concepts. Our goal is to improve and enhance the Amazon fulfillment network to drive the best customer experience in a reliable and cost-efficient manner.
Within MENA, Amazon’s Business I team is looking for a creative, organized, experienced, and highly curious individual with strong analytical skills and finance knowledge to join our inbound supply chain team as a business intelligence engineer. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience leveraging advanced analytics to extract meaning and insights from large volumes of data. These insights will serve as critical inputs to strategic business decisions and programs.

This individual is a great communicator – both written and verbal – with demonstrated experience working cross-functionally across many stakeholder teams which may have competing priorities. The position provides opportunities to influence one of the most visible and high impact areas in MENA.

· Retrieve and synthesize data from multiple sources, and present critical insights in a format that is immediately useful to answering specific questions or improving performance.
