Finance Manager, Delivery Experience (DEX)
DESCRIPTION
Finance is all about the numbers...unless you work at Amazon. For us, it’s knowing the numbers and so much more. Enthusiasm helps us deliver new ideas, and solutions. Do you view problems as treasures, and are you willing to dive deep to develop those solutions and deliver results? Will you seek to challenge the status quo, and accept that your ideas and mechanisms may be tested daily? At Amazon, we move with purpose and speed, and this requires we work with a dynamic network of Operations, HR, Tech and Retail partners. We employ every facet of data and communication to ensure our partners and our leaders have the most up to date and reliable information to help them make the best possible decision.
The Delivery Experience team seeks a data driven Finance Manager, with a strong business and finance acumen, who can help us make strategic and ambiguous decisions that have significant growth and profitability trade-offs. They will be an integral part of the business team and will partner closely with a broad range of global finance and business leaders in Operations, Retail categories, and Supply Chain Optimization teams.
This role is more than finance: it requires ability to invent, go beyond the standard business rules to “experiment” and “conceive” together with the business partners to find financial sustainable solutions to scale across the world. This role is strategic in nature (business partnering skills and curiosity are a must!), and is not a typical Finance role. If you're interested in learning about and shaping the Delivery experience of the customers and thrive in complex, ambiguous environments - this may be the role for you!
