Senior Finance Manager, Finance Business Integration, Project Kuiper Accounting PMO, GTM
DESCRIPTION
t’s a new Day 1 for Kuiper and we are looking for a Senior Finance Manager to join the Accounting PMO supporting this emerging business.
This position supports and can directly influence the launches of some of Amazon’s newest global business initiatives in the consumer products, digital initiatives, merchant, operations, logistics, payments, and cloud computing lines of business. This leader will work closely with the global financial systems team, accounting operations teams, tax, treasury, and others and represent the accounting organization to various stakeholders. In this role, the candidate will be part of a team that collaborates with business finance and technical teams to deliver world class solutions that are highly scalable, secure, and flexible. This person will have operated successfully in a fast-paced, global, results-oriented environment. Strong oral and written communication skills are crucial, as well as ability to think clearly, analyze quantitatively, problem-solve, scope business requirements and prioritize.
Key job responsibilities
As a Senior Finance Manager, Finance Business Integration, you will:
Own and Manage: You’ll own and manage lifecycle activities from beginning to end (planning, requirements gathering, technology team partnerships, UAT planning and performance, project closing, and stakeholder engagement) for multiple projects simultaneously.
Automate: You’ll work on automation projects and lead the coordination of designing processes and tools to make financial statement processes easier and more accurate.
Support Expansion: You’ll support the expansion of Amazon business by ensuring implementation of controlled processes to keep Amazon’s financial statements materially correct (expansions will be both along geographical and feature dimensions)
Consult: You’ll operate as a valued consultant to partner with many different stakeholder teams across Amazon.
Make Decisions: You’ll be an empowered, impactful decision maker who drives the direction of a project to completion.
Collaborate: You’ll collaborate with Amazonians of diverse backgrounds.
Successful candidates will have deep experience in the following three areas – Supply Chain Accounting (one or more of: inventory, fixed assets, transportation), Program Management, and Financial System. Candidate experience should reflect strong leadership (managing up, out, and down; building a high performing team and culture; leading through ambiguity with highly complex first-in-kind challenges), street-smart project management (including requirements lifecycle management, testing support, conflict/stakeholder/change management with a keen eye for ‘future-proofing’ as we go), and a passion for scalable and sustainable financial record processes.
A day in the life
This role will support the consumer-facing supply chain operations of Kuiper, both for the initial launch and as Kuiper expands beyond. There are tremendous complexities and nuances in this space, providing significant opportunity (and demand) for Accounting to collaborate on solution/process build and design and work through tradeoff decisions, requiring us to engage shoulder-to-shoulder with product management and engineering. This is a fast-paced, volatile space as is expected in a new business - candidates should expect to be highly engaged in not just the immediate work, but also thinking ahead to scaling 'the ways of working' to continue to drive momentum for Kuiper.
