  • The network we plan sees trucks departing every minute across Europe, making the team responsible for one of the largest logistical planning operations in the world
  • We constantly face new types of problems and use a wide range of tools to find the right solutions, including SQL/Redshift, Quicksight/Tableau, Python, Excel, as well as simple common sense and professional judgment
  • As a Network Optimization BIE, you will help identify opportunities for system and process improvements, and build these solutions using sophisticated models and tools

  • The Team's BIE vision is a perfect fit across Data Science, Data Engineering and Business Acumen. We build strong technical solutions and don't build "what we are asked to" but what we believe will bring value

Our take

Amazon is the world's largest online retailer, and is well-known for its disruption of well-established industries. The company is present in numerous verticals, including cloud computing with Amazon Web Services, AI with its range of Alexa devices and a global marketplace more commonly referred to as 'the everything store'. Acquisitions include Ring, Twitch, Whole Foods Market, and IMDb.

More recently, Amazon has been focused on leading the "third wave in digital advertising". Many businesses are now shifting ad dollars to retailers, which before would have been spent with online media platforms. Amazon's seen great success in the space, with its revenue from advertising now higher than its Amazon Prime membership scheme, audiobooks and digital music combined. This growth is particularly impressive considering its digital ad rivals (like Snap, Alphabet, and Meta) have suffered declines due to wider macroeconomic factors and Apple's iOS privacy changes.

Despite its dominant market position, Amazon will continue to be challenged over the next decade, including sustaining AWS's cloud dominance in the face of Google and Microsoft. On top of this, the company's e-commerce division is facing profitability problems despite its 2023 post-IPO debt funding of 8 billion. It will need to find new ways to stay above their competitors.
