Business Analyst, Global Mile

Amazon is seeking a motivated candidate to create analyses and mechanisms that provide actionable insights regarding customer behavior and sales performance. As part of a small team of Business Analysts, their data reports, analyses and insights will help Global Mile sales leaders across the US and EMEA understand and bridge performance, as well as influence business decisions, including new product's go-to-market, customer prioritization, etc.

About Global Mile: Amazon is committed to supporting businesses in becoming successful Selling Partners. Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) provides sellers with fulfillment services to store products in Amazon's fulfillment centers. Amazon will pick, pack, ship, and provide customer service to enable FBA sellers to scale their business and reach more customers.

With Amazon's advanced fulfillment networks, this enables "You sell it, we ship it."
