    Job Description

    Amazon"s Global Tax department provides tax controllership and single-threaded business support across key tax functions. Within Global Tax, the Tax Finance team delivers financial and controllership services - FP&A, Procure-to-Pay (P2P), vendor management, and cross-organizational programs.

    We are looking for a Program Manager to join Tax Finance and own the end-to-end design and execution of programs that ensure our procurement, vendor contracting, and reporting mechanisms run accurately and at speed - leveraging AI tools to scale.

    The Program Manager will work across Tax Finance, Legal, Accounting, and Tax Managers to drive the Procure-to-Pay lifecycle - New Matter Requests, Budget Adjustment Requests, Work Orders, and Tax Order Forms - and to manage the SIM / Contract Central / DocuSign contracting workflow.

    The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in ambiguity, communicates crisply, influences without authority across a broad stakeholder set, and has a bias for eliminating unnecessary process while raising the bar on controllership.

    Key job responsibilities

    Own day-to-day execution of one or more Tax Finance program areas (Procure-to-Pay intake, contract lifecycle management, vendor management), delivering to defined SLAs.

    Drive the P2P process end-to-end in partnership with Tax Managers, Legal, Global Procurement, and tech teams - ensuring it is streamlined, compliant with internal policies, and audit-ready.

    Own contract stewardship across the Global Tax department, including SIM / Contract Central / DocuSign workflows.

    Own the weekly status report and other recurring Tax Finance controllership mechanisms - producing clear narratives and socializing them with Tax leadership.

    Build and maintain SOPs, wikis, FAQs, and training materials; deliver training to Tax matter owners and Tax Finance stakeholders on prioritization, intake, and contracting.

    Identify and drive continuous improvement - simplify or eliminate excess process, unblock delivery, reduce cycle time, and improve controllership signal, including through the deployment of AI tooling.

    Communicate program status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to Tax Finance leadership (up to Director / VP) in writing (narratives, weekly reports, PR/FAQs) and in meetings.

    Partner with cross-functional stakeholders (Legal, Global Procurement, Tax Ops, Accounting, HR/Recruiting, and Tax matter owners) to align priorities and drive timely decisions.

    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

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.
