Senior Accountant, Kindle Content Accounting

The Kindle Content Accounting team supports many of Amazon's Digital Content businesses, including eBooks and Kindle Unlimited. This position requires a self-starter that will be responsible for supporting new product launches, expansion efforts, and various aspects of our monthly accounting and reporting process. Amazon is a pioneering and dynamic company that thrives on unique and peculiar ways. If you are a financial accounting professional who consistently exceeds expectations, who dares to make bold decisions, and whose ears perk up at the prospect of a challenge, then Amazon is a place where your career can flourish. When working at Amazon, your ability to make a difference and take ownership of your career begins on day one. You can expect a collaborative, team-driven environment that encourages employees to learn, be curious, and have a bias for action. Part of this propensity for continuous learning shows itself in Amazon's strong encouragement of movement and growth within the Accounting department and within the company as a whole. We aim to hire and develop those who will raise the bar over the course of their career at Amazon (and not just in their first position).
