What the job involves

• 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
• 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
• 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
