Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an experienced finance leader to join its North America Sales Finance team. This is an exciting opportunity to become a part of one of the most dynamic and fastest growing organizations at Amazon. The role will work closely with business and finance stakeholders to support a large and complex business within AWS.

• Deep dive drivers of monthly & quarterly variances in revenue & expense metrics and provide key insights to business stakeholders to inform operating strategies
• Own planning and forecasting and influence business stakeholders to ensure initiatives are aligned with broader organizational objectives
• Perform ad-hoc analyses to help business leaders solve complex problems and understand financial implications
