About this role
Are you ready to turn data into decisions that shape how Amazon operates? We are looking for a Financial Analyst to join our Finance team, where you will build reports, analyze trends, and deliver insights that directly influence business strategy. In this role, you will work with large datasets to uncover the story behind the numbers, partnering with cross-functional teams to drive meaningful improvements. If you are a curious, detail-oriented problem solver who thrives on making complex information clear and actionable, this is your opportunity to grow your career at one of the world's most innovative companies.
Key job responsibilities
- Build and maintain financial and operational reports that inform business decision-making, ensuring completeness and accuracy through thorough data validation and cross-referencing across multiple sources.
- Analyze financial statements, key performance indicators, and operational data to draw conclusions, surface trends, and make recommendations to business partners.
- Support weekly and monthly financial close processes, planning cycles, and forecasting models while continuously improving their usability and accuracy.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to collect inputs, validate assumptions, and deliver ad-hoc analyses that quantify opportunities for cost reduction and process improvement.
- Identify opportunities to automate reporting workflows and integrate generative AI tools where appropriate, creating documentation and standard operating procedures to support knowledge transfer.
A day in the life
You will start your morning reviewing dashboards and validating data to ensure your reports reflect the latest business activity. From there, you might dive into a variance analysis to explain why a key metric shifted, then join a working session with business partners to align on assumptions for an upcoming forecast. In the afternoon, you could be building a new automated report or documenting a process improvement you identified. Along the way, you will collaborate with teammates, ask questions, and continuously sharpen your financial toolkit.
