Our packaging products and programs provide a unique opportunity to be part of initiatives that promote sustainability and reduce cost on a significant scale.
The MSP finance team is seeking an analytical, driven, and creative finance leader to support the Ship in Own Container (SIOC) program, which eliminates added Amazon packaging in the fulfillment process. This position will partner with business teams to design and implement solutions to scale the program across new platforms, networks, and products, while ensuring the financial controls are in place to measure the end-to-end impact on Amazon’s cost to serve.

This is an exciting role for someone who enjoys influencing both strategy and tactical execution and has a passion for innovation and sustainability.
To be successful in this role, the incumbent will need excellent communication skills, strong ownership, and the ability to work with complex data sets to build financial analyses that will be used to inform MSP’s strategy and drive engagement across cross-functional stakeholders. This position comes with executive-level visibility, and experience on this team can open up several career opportunities across Amazon.
