    Job Description

    Are you energized by turning complex financial data into clear, actionable insights? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Sr. Financial Analyst to join our Central Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team and help drive Income Statement reporting across our rapidly growing Core and AI businesses. In this role, you will build automation that streamlines how we report, inspect, and surface trends, outliers, and opportunities for AWS leadership to act on. You will also contribute to cost reduction and revenue acceleration strategies that directly shape business outcomes.

    This is a unique opportunity to work where financial analysis meets technology. You will use tools like Amazon QuickSight and other AI-based platforms to consolidate complex data into dynamic, usable reports. If you are a self-starter with a strong foundation in financial statements and accounting concepts who thrives on turning raw numbers into executive-ready narratives, we want to hear from you.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Design and build automated reporting for Income Statement results, highlighting trends, outliers, and actionable opportunities for AWS leadership.
    • Collaborate with partner finance teams to identify data sources, understand business drivers, and develop KPIs that support cost efficiency and revenue growth across AWS.
    • Use Amazon QuickSight and other AI-based tools to model, consolidate, and transform complex data sets into dynamic financial reports and analyses.
    • Drive core financial processes including monthly and quarterly business reviews, risk and opportunity assessments, and month-end close activities.
    • Audit data for accuracy, identify root causes of discrepancies, and implement process improvements that strengthen financial controls and reporting quality.

    A day in the life

    You might start your morning reviewing the latest Income Statement outputs, verifying data accuracy and flagging anomalies before a cross-functional sync with partner finance teams. From there, you could shift to building a new QuickSight dashboard that consolidates data from multiple sources into a single view for leadership. In the afternoon, you may prepare a narrative summarizing key financial trends for an upcoming business review, then wrap up by refining an automation that reduces manual steps in a recurring reporting workflow.

    About the team

    The AWS Central FP&A team sits at the center of financial decision-making for one of Amazon"s fastest-growing businesses. We coordinate and consolidate deliverables across AWS finance teams, establish financial controls, and build tools that speed up insight delivery.

Joining this team means gaining visibility into the full AWS P&L and working alongside senior leaders - a path that builds expertise in executive-level communication, strategic recommendations, and broad business understanding.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. 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. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. 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
    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.
