Description

At Amazon, we're working to be the world's most customer-centric company, and our Operations network is renowned for being world-class, delivering packages to customers across the globe. Our Finance teams don't just manage our books; they help drive the company forward by partnering closely with global cross-functional teams to support the growth of this rapidly expanding network.

Amazon's WW Operations Finance FP&A team is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to join our Operations Insights, Planning, Analytics and Technology (IPAT) team. This role supports senior finance leaders with a focus on financial reporting and analysis, automation of manual processes, and contributing to governance and data quality initiatives.

As a member of the IPAT team, you will work alongside World Wide Operations teams to support scalable processes and controls, contributing to the governance framework while collaborating with stakeholders across operations, supply chain, finance, and other support teams. You'll use data analysis to help ensure leaders have accurate, up-to-date information to make sound financial decisions. Your work will directly support faster delivery times, improved customer experience, and network expansion that serves millions of customers daily.

The successful candidate will have strong communication and analytical skills, with the ability to dive deep into data and clearly communicate findings to managers and senior managers. This role requires working with limited guidance in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, with a growing comfort with ambiguity and a high bar on professional integrity. You should be passionate about using data to solve difficult problems and eager to learn across processes ranging from Finance standard work to the functionality and design of tools. You'll be supported by experienced finance leaders and a collaborative team environment as you develop your skills and expand your impact.
