Amazon Inventory Management Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT) team sits at the core of Amazon's global supply chain - determining what inventory to buy, when to buy it, how much to order, where to position it, and how to recover value from unproductive inventory - all to delight customers while meeting Amazon's business objectives. Operating at massive scale across hundreds of product lines and billions of dollars of worldwide inventory, SCOT's fully in-house systems - including some of the most advanced applications of machine learning, agentic AI, and autonomous decision-making in global commerce - are among the most sophisticated in the world. Finance within SCOT is a high-impact function, partnering directly with AI and machine learning engineers, scientists, product managers, and operations leaders to shape strategy, drive investment decisions, and deliver measurable improvements to Amazon's supply chain economics.
The Role
We're looking for a Finance Manager who thrives in deep business partnership with senior executives, including Directors and VPs - serving as the financial owner of our Automated Inventory Management portfolio - a suite of systems that determine whether the right inventory is available, in the right place, in the right condition, across Amazon's global fulfillment network.
This role sits at the intersection of finance and AI in supply chain - with high agency, a direct line to the thought leaders defining Amazon's worldwide supply chain strategy, and the autonomy to drive investment decisions as the financial voice shaping how these systems are built, evaluated, and scaled.
We seek a candidate who is curious about how AI-driven autonomous systems shape business outcomes - comfortable interrogating model inputs, challenging assumptions, and asking "is this optimizing for the right thing?" You build trust quickly, partner closely with technical and business leaders, and know how to show up as a strategic equal at the table. You're comfortable operating at multiple altitudes - equally at ease with a data model as you are presenting to a VP.
Key job responsibilities
- Partner with Science and Product teams to develop financial strategies and drive controllership across our Automated Inventory Management systems, ensuring technology investments deliver maximum long-term free cash flow and measurable improvements to supply chain efficiency
- Navigate high degrees of ambiguity to build financial models that evaluate multi-million dollar technology investments and their impact on inventory placement, availability, and cost to serve
- Conduct rigorous financial assessments of identified inventory defects - including entitlement analysis, estimation accuracy, and opportunity costs - translating findings into measurable P&L impact across the network
- Build and maintain metrics and audit mechanisms to evaluate algorithmic decision outcomes, flagging when models underperform and surfacing data-driven recommendations to course-correct
- Develop compelling narratives and financial analyses for executive reviews
- Leverage AI agents, GenAI assistants, and AI-powered data platforms to accelerate analysis, improve productivity, and continuously explore new ways to deliver higher-quality insights faster
A day in the life
This role sits at the intersection of finance, technology, and supply chain strategy. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with operations research scientists, product managers, and engineers - as well as cross-functional partners across Operations Finance, Inventory Planning, and country-specific teams - engaging in model design discussions, stress-testing algorithmic assumptions, and translating system behavior into financial narratives that drive strategic decisions. No two days look the same: one day you're building a financial framework to evaluate a new algorithm with an engineer; the next you're presenting findings in a VP-level review where the outcome shapes how Amazon invests in its inventory infrastructure.
About the team
The AIM Finance team is a small, high-impact group embedded within Amazon's Supply Chain Optimization Technologies organization. We serve as the financial backbone for some of Amazon's most sophisticated AI-driven systems - covering inventory availability, placement efficiency, selection economics, and inbound performance across global markets. The team operates with significant autonomy, high senior leadership exposure, and a mandate to think strategically, not just report. We work closely with operations research scientists, product managers, and supply chain leaders - and we actively invest in AI and GenAI tools to raise the quality and speed of our own work. If you want to do finance differently, this is the team.
