DESCRIPTION
Amazon seeks an experienced Finance professional as a Finance Manager on the Corporate Financial Planning & Insights team. In partnership with stakeholders in Finance, Accounting, and Legal, this high visibility role will support requests for financial data in the context of legal and regulatory work, acting as a key liaison across teams. This role will be responsible maintaining high standards across Amazon for data quality, validations, approvals, and narratives. This individual will also provide context on similar requests Amazon has fielded previously, advise and provide thought leadership on requests, and train members of the Finance organization on how to respond to these requests. This individual will also drive process and technology improvements as their expertise in this space matures.
Candidates should have experience working with data, reporting systems, and data discrepancies. This role will require the ability to understand complex data, coming back to simple talking points for non-finance stakeholders. Candidates should have experience working in high visibility roles and be comfortable presenting to senior leadership. A polished professional presence and the ability to influence is critical. Candidates should also have a meaningful track record of making good judgment calls, strong independent initiative, and the ability to deliver high quality work without a lot of oversight. This role provides a great opportunity to demonstrate capabilities to dive deep, deliver results, think big, invent and simplify, and earn trust. In addition, exposure to the regulatory and litigation framework in which Amazon operates offers aspiring finance professionals an opportunity to become well-rounded in their career path.
