In this high-impact role, you will drive the strategic expansion of SFF's business value, launch new ASIN selections, and adapt our operations to the evolving landscape of Amazon's supply chain ecosystem.

SFF represents Amazon's next-generation approach to fulfilling fast-moving, high-cube household essentials by reducing operational touches, while utilizing existing infrastructure to forward-deploy inventory closer to customers. You will be instrumental in scaling this program from its current 24 sites to ambitious expansion targets, while maintaining our customer-obsessed standards.

This role demands a unique blend of analytical rigor and strategic thinking.

Success requires the ability to synthesize complex performance data - from TPH improvements to inventory optimization models - into actionable strategies that drive measurable business outcomes.

Key job responsibilities

Strategic Program Expansion: Lead end-to-end analysis and execution of SFF network expansion, targeting 100% presence in Tier 1 MSAs and strategic penetration of Tier 2 markets while optimizing site selection through advanced demand modeling and space utilization algorithms

Data-Driven Root Cause Analysis: Dive deep into inventory, operational, and financial metrics to identify systemic inefficiencies and untapped opportunity to develop scalable solutions.

ASIN Selection & Inventory Strategy: Own the evolution of SFF's selection methodology , utilizing advanced optimization models that balance space efficiency, demand stability, and profitability across multiple supply streams - while adapting to selection decisions Amazon-wide.

Operational Excellence & Scaling: Drive continuous improvement initiatives that push site throughput while reducing variable cost per unit, through strategic partnership with Operations.

Advanced Analytics & Forecasting: Evaluate and improve existing forecasting models for volume planning, capacity management, and financial projections, ensuring accurate weekly/daily demand predictions that support labor planning and inventory optimization

Strategic Partnership Development: Build and maintain relationships with key vendors, retail partners, and internal stakeholders to negotiate optimal inbound strategies, manage vendor compliance, and drive adoption of new fulfillment methodologies
