Description At Amazon we are passionate about creating a shopping experience that customers will love. If you’re interested in a fast-paced, ambiguous, and highly-collaborative environment that’s more start-up than big company, we want to talk to you.
Worldwide Grocery Stores (WWGS), Growth & Development team is seeking a Location Analyst to support strategic site selection and location planning across all Amazon physical retail concepts. This role sits at the intersection of advanced analytics, real estate strategy, and customer experience, leveraging geospatial intelligence and demographic modeling to identify optimal locations that drive growth and deliver exceptional value to customers.
As a Location Analyst, you will be responsible for conducting comprehensive market assessments, building sophisticated analytical models, and providing data-driven recommendations that inform multi-million dollar real estate investment decisions. You'll work with GIS technology, large-scale demographic datasets, and proprietary customer data to evaluate trade areas, forecast site performance, and identify expansion opportunities across diverse retail formats and geographies.
This role requires a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen. You'll translate complex spatial data and statistical analyses into clear, actionable insights for cross-functional partners including Real Estate Development, Operations, Finance, and senior leadership. Your work will directly influence where and how Amazon serves communities nationwide, ensuring our physical retail presence meets customers where they are with the right format, in the right location, at the right time.
The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment where speed and accuracy are equally critical. You'll balance rigorous analytical standards with the urgency required in competitive real estate markets, often delivering rapid assessments on time-sensitive opportunities while maintaining the data quality and methodological rigor that inform high-stakes decisions. This position offers the opportunity to shape Amazon's physical retail footprint and make a measurable impact on how millions of customers access Amazon's products and services in their daily lives.
