Economist Amazon Jobs (NOW HIRING)

In this role, you'll serve as the financial co-owner of Amazon's Private Brands B2B business and P&L - a strategically distinct channel at the intersection of Amazon's private label portfolio and Amazon Business, serving SMB, mid-market, and enterprise customers across North America, Europe, Japan, and beyond. Amazon Private Brands (APB) is Amazon's portfolio of owned and exclusive brands - spanning everyday essentials, consumables, and hardlines - developed and sold directly on Amazon, giving the business end-to-end control over product development, pricing, and customer experience.
This role offers a rare combination of strategic finance leadership and direct influence over the economic model of a business designed to be deeply complementary to Amazon's core. APB's private label products deliver genuine value to customers and strengthen selection on Amazon. The B2B channel extends that mission into enterprise procurement, where professional buyers have distinct needs around pricing, selection depth, and purchasing efficiency.
Partnering directly with the APB B2B General Manager and the Amazon Business finance organization, you will shape how APB selection, pricing, and procurement programs are designed to win with business customers at scale. You will build financial frameworks governing contract pricing architecture, quantity-based pricing strategy, and program-level investment decisions - while influencing senior leadership across two major organizations through data-driven insights. This role reports to the Finance Director of Private Brands, reflecting its strategic importance and cross-organizational visibility.
A distinctive feature of this role is its dual-org setup - sitting within Private Brands while partnering directly with Amazon Business. The B2B channel is a fast-growing strategic priority, and the infrastructure is still maturing, offering a genuine opportunity to build scalable mechanisms and leave a lasting imprint on how finance operates in this space.
The ideal candidate is a creative, analytical problem solver who thrives in ambiguous, fast-paced environments - a proactive thought leader, collaborative partner across a dynamic stakeholder network, and an innovator who drives continuous improvement in financial analysis, planning, and reporting.
Key job responsibilities
- Architect and govern the economic model of the APB B2B business, including defining pricing guardrails, evaluating quantity discount and contract pricing tradeoffs, and influencing pricing architecture decisions that balance customer value with sustainable profitability
- Own the financial strategy for enterprise procurement programs - evaluating deal economics, modeling program return on investment, and identifying the highest-leverage opportunities to drive accretive growth.
- Lead long-term business planning, ensuring alignment between B2B financial goals and APB's broader operating strategy across annual and multi-year planning cycles (including annual operating plan cycles and strategic reviews), as B2B grows as a strategic priority within APB's overall portfolio
- Play a central role in product development and lifecycle management decisions: evaluate which products APB should build for the B2B market, model launch economics and ramp expectations, assess competitive private label coverage gaps across key enterprise spend categories, and influence how capital is allocated across the product development pipeline - a uniquely hands-on finance role in shaping what gets built, not just how it performs
- Quantify and advance the complementary relationship between APB and Amazon's core business - building financial frameworks that demonstrate how private label selection enhances the customer experience and profitable growth on Amazon Business.
- Partner cross-functionally with Amazon Business finance, Product, Pricing, Supply Chain, and Sourcing teams to influence strategic decisions, improve cost structure, and enable scalable growth across geographies
- Build and scale financial mechanisms, reporting infrastructure, and automated analytics - including AI-driven tools - that improve decision velocity and business visibility across a high-cadence, senior-facing operating rhythm
A day in the life
You will operate at the center of business decision-making across two major organizations - Amazon's private label business and Amazon Business - partnering with finance and business leaders on both sides to shape how APB grows profitably within the enterprise channel. You will evaluate contract pricing strategies and quantity discount tradeoffs, guide which new products to build based on expected financial returns and enterprise customer demand signals, and influence procurement program investments that balance customer value with margin guardrails. You will also help build scalable financial infrastructure and drive adoption of AI-driven analytics to improve financial visibility and efficiency, explain performance to senior leadership across weekly, monthly, and quarterly business reviews, and provide data-driven insights that shape strategic direction across both organizations.
