Finance Manager - SCOT Automated Inventory Management , SCOT AIM Finance

The Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (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, where to position it, and how to recover value from unproductive inventory — all 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.

--The Role--

We're looking for a Finance Manager who thrives in deep business partnership with senior executives, including Directors and VPs — serving as the financial owner for our Rest of World Automated Inventory Management portfolio, covering India, Japan, AMET (Africa, Middle East, and Turkey), and emerging markets across Latin America and Asia Pacific.

This role sits at the intersection of finance and AI in supply chain — with high agency, a direct line to the regional leaders defining Amazon's inventory strategy across some of its fastest-growing markets, and the autonomy to drive investment decisions as the financial voice shaping how these systems are built, extended, and scaled into new geographies.

We seek a candidate who is curious about how AI-driven autonomous systems shape business outcomes — comfortable interrogating model inputs, challenging assumptions, and asking "is this optimizing for the right thing?" You build trust quickly, partner closely with technical and business leaders, and know how to show up as a strategic equal at the table. You're comfortable operating at multiple altitudes — equally at ease with a data model as you are presenting to a VP.
