Amazon Operations Lead Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Are you ready to drive financial strategy for one of Amazon's most complex logistics networks? Amazon Logistics (AMZL) is transforming last-mile delivery across North America, and we're looking for a strategic finance partner to own the full Under the Roof (UTR) cost stack for NA Central-a portfolio spanning 500+ delivery stations. In this high-visibility role, you'll independently lead financial planning cycles, challenge multi-organizational transportation plans with data-driven insights, and design scalable processes that improve cost visibility across the network.
This isn't a typical analyst role. You'll operate with significant autonomy, navigating ambiguity across Topology, Planning Process Technology, and Operations stakeholders to influence decisions at senior leadership levels. If you thrive on solving complex problems, building trusted partnerships with business leaders, and creating lasting impact through strategic financial planning, this is your opportunity to shape the future of AMZL's cost performance.
Key job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end financial planning and analysis for the NA Central AMZL UTR cost stack, independently driving quarterly and annual operating plan cycles while ensuring accuracy and alignment across 500+ stations
- Challenge business partner assumptions and transportation plans across multiple organizations using rigorous financial modeling, data analysis, and strategic problem-solving to deliver actionable recommendations to senior leaders
- Design and implement scalable financial planning processes and mechanisms that enhance cost visibility, improve controllership, and drive long-term value across the delivery network
- Partner with Operations, Network Planning, and cross-functional stakeholders to analyze cost variances, identify controllership risks proactively, and present trade-off analyses that influence decisions at the director level and above
- Mentor and develop junior analysts on analytical approach, financial modeling techniques, and business partnership skills while contributing to the broader Finance community through knowledge sharing and best practice documentation
A day in the life
Your morning begins by reviewing UTR cost variances and flagging emerging risks to leadership. Mid-day, you'll lead or contribute to cross-functional planning syncs and bridge reviews with Operations and Network Planning teams. Afternoons are spent building and refining financial models for upcoming planning cycles, conducting deep-dive root cause analyses on cost misses, and coaching junior team members on analytical techniques. You'll also respond to urgent requests and present trade-off analyses to senior leaders, balancing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
About the team
The North America AMZL Finance team supports financial planning and controllership across the last-mile delivery network. We partner directly with Operations and Network Planning leaders to drive cost performance across hundreds of delivery stations, delivering insights that shape multi-million dollar decisions. Our culture emphasizes high ownership, data-driven decision making, and constructive collaboration-we challenge plans thoughtfully and take pride in delivering compounding results.
Looking ahead, we're focused on scaling our planning processes and deepening our partnership with the business as AMZL continues its rapid growth. This is an opportunity to join a team where your analytical rigor and strategic thinking will directly influence the future of Amazon's delivery network.
