A day in the life
You may start your day off deep diving a particular spend area you are responsible for to understand the variance and which fulfillment centers are driving the variance and why. You'll work with the fulfillment centers to understand what is happening locally and possible actions for reducing the spend – in doing so you arrange for time to visit a couple sites next week. Finally, you spend some time as a buddy for a new employee who is learning about Amazon – and share tips to help them be successful in their role.
