Are you passionate about turning complex data into actionable insights that shape business strategy? As a Business Analyst III at Amazon, you will tackle ambiguous, high-impact problems by combining deep analytical expertise with a thorough understanding of business objectives. In this role, you will own end-to-end analytics solutions — from defining the problem to delivering strategic recommendations that influence long-term decisions. You will partner with cross-functional teams, mentor fellow analysts, and drive continuous improvement across processes and mechanisms. If you are a curious, self-motivated problem solver who thrives on making data-driven impact at scale, we want to hear from you.
Key job responsibilities
- Analyze complex business problems across multiple domains, synthesizing data and business knowledge to generate strategic recommendations that inform organizational decisions and roadmap priorities.
- Design and implement scalable analytics solutions using SQL, spreadsheets, and visualization tools, while proactively identifying opportunities to standardize and simplify existing processes.
- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders and technical partners such as Business Intelligence Engineers and Data Scientists to unlock new insights, onboard new data sources, and validate data accuracy.
- Communicate findings and recommendations to leadership through written narratives and verbal presentations, translating granular analysis into clear, compelling stories that drive alignment and action.
- Mentor analysts within your organization by sharing best practices in business analysis, data modeling, and insights generation, while driving operational excellence through process improvement.
A day in the life
You might start your morning reviewing key performance metrics and investigating an unexpected trend, then pivot to a working session with stakeholders to scope a new analytics project. After lunch, you could be writing a narrative document that frames a strategic recommendation for leadership, followed by a peer review of a teammate's SQL code. Throughout it all, you are balancing short-term requests with longer-term initiatives on your roadmap, choosing the right tool for each problem and ensuring your solutions remain scalable.

Amazon runs the largest online store in the United States and rents cloud computing to businesses and governments through Amazon Web Services. AWS pioneered renting computing power over the internet, and Amazon built its own delivery network to get orders to customers quickly. Shoppers buy from Amazon and from independent sellers on its store, and Prime members pay a subscription for fast free shipping, streaming video and music, and other perks. AWS rents out computing power, storage, databases, and AI tools so companies can run software without owning servers, and Amazon also makes Kindle e-readers and Echo speakers with the Alexa assistant. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, and it is based in Seattle, Washington.
