    Job Description

    Amazon is seeking an experienced Sr. Financial Analyst based in Seattle, WA. This team focuses on improving customer experience at Amazon globally.

    The Sr. Financial Analyst will own end-to-end financial reporting and analysis for a global team, operating with a hands-on, entrepreneurial mindset.

    • Have a bias for action and a track record of identifying inefficiencies in reporting or accounting processes and driving improvements without being asked
    • Can translate complex financial data into clear, concise narratives that enable non-finance stakeholders to make informed decisions
    • Are comfortable operating across multiple geographies and navigating the complexity of a global finance function (e.g., multi-entity consolidation, indirect tax, statutory requirements)
    • Approach your work with intellectual curiosity - you don"t just report the numbers, you dig into the "why" behind business variances and proactively surface insights
    • Excel at managing competing priorities and can seamlessly shift between operational accounting tasks and strategic analytical projects
    • Have an ownership mentality - you treat the financial reporting function as your business and hold yourself accountable for accuracy, timeliness, and continuous improvement

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own the day-to-day management of financial accounts across a global organization, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance
    • Prepare and deliver key metrics and finance reporting on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly cadence
    • Support indirect tax compliance and annual audit processes
    • Identify and implement opportunities to streamline operational accounting and financial reporting workflows
    • Develop scalable processes and controls that support growth and reduce manual effort
    • Drive standardization and automation to improve reporting efficiency and data integrity
    • Build and maintain financial models that inform key business decisions and support strategic planning
    • Lead analytical projects that translate complex financial data into actionable insights for stakeholders
    • Analyze business performance to identify trends, variances, and root causes, and present findings with clear recommendations

    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.
