This role offers deep, end-to-end visibility into inbound logistics and Sort Centre node-level performance, partnering closely with Operations Leadership, FP&A, and the broader Ops Finance team to drive data-informed decisions.

This position sits at the intersection of finance and operations, where you will build and maintain standardised KPI reporting, cost bridges, and productivity narratives that directly influence capacity planning, cost management, and network design decisions.

Your work will give you unparalleled exposure to Amazon's inbound supply chain and Sort Centre operations, positioning you to grow across the broader AU Ops Finance organisation.
