Business Analyst, Category and Sales Finance - 3P NASBP

About the role

Amazon seeks an experienced Business Analyst to serve as a lead contributor on the Category and Sales Finance team supporting the 3P business. You will generate insights that guide 3P business growth opportunities across categories, sales teams, and account management programs. Data analysis is at the core of Amazon’s culture, and your work will directly impact decision-making and strategy for our team.

You will gather customer insights, mine data, make recommendations, and help senior leaders make key business decisions. You will work with a large and complex data warehouse to gather insights using data from across Amazon, improving how we service sellers and enhance business performance for The North America Seller Business and Programs (NASBP).

The Business Analyst will also focus on streamlining finance reports, owning shadow P&Ls queries, and performing ad-hoc business decision support analysis. We are looking for someone with a broad technical background in data analytics, strong business acumen, who takes ownership of their work and is focused on customer needs.

Responsibilities

• Build reports and analysis utilizing advanced SQL skills.
• Automate planning, deep dive, and reporting models.
• Understand business challenges and identify data-driven insights with effective presentation of findings at multiple stakeholder levels.
• Leverage data to increase the efficiency of programs, working closely with business teams to drive optimization.
• Update existing and create new metrics and reporting to help drive business conclusions, continually improving reporting and analysis processes.
• Own the design, development, and maintenance of ongoing metrics, reports, analyses, and dashboards to determine key business conclusions.
• Support Category, New Seller Recruitment, and Account Management teams to deliver deep dives on key business metrics (Selection, Pricing, Promotions, Seller Fees, Cost to Serve, Inventory) and translate findings into actionable recommendations.
• Analyze Seller and ASIN-level data to identify trends, surface insights, and drive data-informed decisions in close collaboration with business stakeholders.

A day in the life

A typical day includes analyzing seller-level performance data to assess incentive program effectiveness, building benchmark cohorts to measure incrementality, and partnering directly with New Seller Recruitment and Account Management leaders to turn insights into action. You'll model input metrics that drive specific costs (e.g., shipping costs), track incentive consumption, and prepare deep dives for leadership reviews. One day you're analyzing ASIN-level economics; the next, you're presenting a data-based business case on whether a multi-million-dollar program delivers value. You won't just crunch data and report numbers—you'll challenge what we measure and why.
