Sr. Business Analyst, Sustainability Reporting, WW Sustainability

Join us at the forefront of Amazon's sustainability initiatives to work on environmental and social advancements to support Amazon's long-term worldwide sustainability strategy. The Worldwide Sustainability (WWS) organization capitalizes on Amazon’s scale and speed to build a more resilient and sustainable company. We manage our social and environmental impacts globally and drive solutions that enable our customers, businesses, and the world to become more sustainable.

The Sustainability Reporting, Enablement and Governance (S-REG) team's mission is to build a lasting, scalable, and trusted sustainability reporting infrastructure to satisfy regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations. We translate external requirements into internal needs and build tools and mechanisms that enable Amazon businesses to meet their sustainability reporting obligations and effectively manage their sustainability risks and opportunities.

About the role

We are looking for a result-oriented, self-starter Business Analyst who is passionate about using data and automation to simplify complex sustainability reporting. You bring a builder mindset, a clear point of view on how AI tools can support and scale analytical work, and the ability to thrive in ambiguity—structuring problems, reaching defensible conclusions, and documenting clearly.

You will be the analytical owner for validating and making sense of disclosure data across sustainability domains—including but not limited to carbon, energy, water, waste, and workforce. You will build deep contextual knowledge of measurement and accounting systems, define analyses for completeness, accuracy, correlation, and causality, prototype those analyses on real data, ensure data quality through scalable testing, and partner with internal tech teams to scale solutions.

Responsibilities

• Extract, transform, and present data from upstream systems for internal pre-reviews, statutory reporting, and external disclosures across sustainability domains (carbon, energy, water, waste, workforce).
• Develop and implement scalable testing mechanisms for internal pre-review examinations and assurance readiness—completeness, accuracy, and reconciliation checks that flag defects early and prioritize them by materiality.
• Evaluate and improve data collection and ingestion processes, proposing solutions that enhance scalability and eliminate redundancies—including detection and prevention rules to embed in upstream systems.
• Draw correlations across domains (and against financials) in a way that is rigorous and makes business sense, so reported trends are explainable and defensible under external assurance.
• Rapidly prototype new analytics and validation approaches (including with GenAI tooling) to prove value on real data, then hand well-specified requirements to internal tech partners to build and scale.
• Partner cross-functionally with data providers, measurement teams, report owners, and controllership—translating complex data-quality findings into plain language for non-technical stakeholders and senior leaders.
• Own the analytics that validate whether upstream controls are operating as intended (e.g., completeness of automated checks, detection of bypass or override), partnering with controllership teams to specify control requirements for new solutions before they move to production.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree.
• 5+ years of experience with Excel or Tableau (data manipulation, macros, charts, and pivot tables).
• Fluency with AI/GenAI tools and a clear point of view on using them to automate low-value analytical work.
• Experience working with databases and SQL in a business environment.

Qualifications

• Experience working directly with business stakeholders to translate between data and business needs.
• Experience in data mining, ETL, and using databases in a business environment with large-scale, complex datasets.
• Experience developing tools, reports, process maps, scorecards, and data visualizations that improve business understanding and decision-making.
