Description

This is a unique Finance role that will give you full P&L ownership for a business with high growth potential. Partnering with GP leadership, you'll help drive the long-term strategy of Grocery Partnerships.

Key job responsibilities

• Full P&L ownership for the UK Grocery Partnerships (GP) business.

• Build strong relationships with the business team to be able to positively influence performance

• Help drive the strategy of the WWGP business - this often requires the delicate balancing of profitability and service offering, making the Finance role absolutely front and centre of the team.

• Lead planning processes, partnering with the business team and central FP&A

A day in the life

WWGP is not a "typical" Amazon business - it's about food and about customers building baskets with us. This requires a different mindset and "Fresh" thinking. You'll partner with Grocery Partnerships leaders to manage the performance and drive the strategy of the UK business. Practically there is no "typical" week. Outside of the recurring mechanisms (WBRs, MBRs, Planning etc.), there is a huge variety of tasks ranging from driving the path to profit, to running analysis on fee strategies, to determining store expansion plans.

About the team

The WWGP Finance team supports our businesses across 8 countries, and is therefore very adept at working cross-country and sharing information. This means we are a close team, despite the geographical location!

Across the wider Int'l Fresh Finance team, we have a 3 word brand - "Trust, Insight, Impact". It's really important to us as a team that we spend the time on things that drive real insight and make tangible impacts positively on the business. Fundamental to this is great business partnering and establishing Trust with leadership.
