Amazon seeks a Finance Manager to join the Corporate Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) team. The successful candidate will lead company-wide finance transformation projects that change how Amazon consumes, stores, and analyzes financial data.

This individual will work closely with various stakeholders including Accounting, Finance, and Financial system teams to solve complex problems that directly impact Amazon's financial reporting. Your job is to challenge the status quo - to think differently about how finance supports the business. You will work closely with finance tech teams across Amazon to build recommendations and programs that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the finance organization. This person will need to understand business unit financials and anticipate the impact of finance transformation projects on other teams and processes.

Key job responsibilities

  • Lead large-scale change management initiatives and provide strategic direction on how to optimize the way finance organizations function across Amazon.
  • Partner with Business Finance teams to drive cost assignment and allocation to appropriate businesses for each monthly and planning cycle.
  • Generate business insights based on financial results and use them to influence strategic decisions being made about the businesses.
  • Partner with Accounting and Business Intelligence teams to define requirements for and prioritize projects to improve reporting accuracy and automation.
  • Support operations partners in areas that include, but are not limited to, planning, productivity goals, defect tracking, metrics, performance measurement, and operations cost reduction projects.
  • Communicate complex financial insights effectively, in both verbal and written form.
  • Ad hoc financial analysis and data support for business teams.

A day in the life

This is an excellent opportunity to shape a growing business in an entrepreneurial environment. This person will dive deep to understand the intricacies of data and its sources, combine multiple sources of data to build a complete picture of business performance, partner with business teams to address reporting needs, and concisely communicate performance drivers to business partners and finance leadership. This role also has regular interaction with executives and various business units across Amazon and therefore requires strong interpersonal and communication skills.

About the team

Corporate FP&A provides strategic support to Amazon's CFO and executive team on enterprise-wide planning, analysis, and reporting. Our team is responsible for the production and governance of several key finance deliverables.

We are a collaborative and forward-thinking finance team dedicated to driving strategic insights and operational excellence. Our vision is to continuously evolve financial processes, empowering business units with robust, actionable financial intelligence. We value innovative thinking, global perspectives, and the ability to translate complex financial data into meaningful business strategies.

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa.

Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
