DESCRIPTION
Amazon Australia is shaping how customers shop and buy online in Australia. If you're excited about making history, we have a rare opportunity for a Finance Business Partner (or senior commercial analyst) to join our team in Sydney, Australia. In this role, you'll partner with our business teams across the Store organisation to deliver on our growth ambitions and raise the bar in e-commerce for Australian customers.
We are not an average retailer and this is definitely not your average finance position. The candidate will play a critical role in understanding overall business performance for AU Retail and opportunity to partner with business leaders across AU Stores to evolve our customer programs and cost to serve. Being a trusted advisor to the business, they will support decision making, identify risks and opportunities, provide actionable insights, and build business cases to assess investments.
The successful candidate can work independently on complex problems while demonstrating strong business judgment and the capability to influence stakeholders through data-driven insights and recommendations. They are highly analytical, creative and a self-starter who is eager to learn.
