About the Team
The Supply Chain Optimization Technology (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, and where to position it 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, automated planning and optimization systems 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.
