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 Finance Manager to join our Operations Insights, Planning, Analytics and Technology (IPAT) team.

You should be passionate about using data to solve big, complex problems, and comfortable diving into processes ranging from Finance standard work to the functionality and design of tools. While the role offers significant autonomy, you'll be supported by experienced finance leaders and a collaborative team environment.
