Finance Manager, Delivery Experience (DEX)

October 22, 2024

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.
