DESCRIPTION Amazon is seeking a motivated candidate to create analyses and mechanisms that provide actionable insights regarding customer behavior and sales performance. The successful candidate will be a trusted advisor to Global Mile sales leaders across the US & EMEA. Their insights and recommendations will help sales leaders understand and bridge performance, as well as influence strategy, including new product's go-to-market, customer prioritization, etc.
About Global Mile: Amazon is committed to supporting businesses in becoming successful Selling Partners. Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) provides sellers with fulfillment services to store products in Amazon's fulfillment centers. Amazon will pick, pack, ship, and provide customer service to enable FBA sellers to scale their business and reach more customers.
With Amazon's advanced fulfillment networks, this enables "You sell it, we ship it."

The Global Mile team solves this Selling Partner pain-point by offering Amazon Global Logistics solutions, with a full suite of international shipping, customs clearance and storage solutions.
