Job description

Amazon has a full-time Finance Manager opening in Toronto, ON on its North American Customer Fulfillment finance team. It is an individual contributor role that pays $80,900 to $135,200 CAD a year.

You'll be the finance partner for multiple fulfillment centers. The work centres on financial models, forecasting and budgeting, and on advising business owners who rely on your analysis to make decisions.

About the Role: Finance Manager, North American Customer Fulfillment

The Customer Fulfillment finance team supports a fast-growing delivery network by working with cross-functional groups on controllership, innovation, productivity and cost-effective operations. As the finance partner for several fulfillment centers, you'll influence business owners, support their decisions and adapt as the environment changes.

You'll work regularly with executives and business units across Amazon, so written and verbal communication counts. A typical day includes building new productivity measures, using large-scale data mining tools to find creative solutions, and choosing which projects deserve priority for key stakeholders.

Amazon says experience on this team can lead to senior roles in other business lanes, project management, or management locally, regionally and globally.

Benefits and Salary

The base salary for the Toronto location is $80,900 to $135,200 CAD annually. Amazon says total compensation may also include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs), and that the final amount depends on experience, qualifications and location.

Listed benefits are health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, basic life and AD&D), a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), a Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP) and paid time off, along with other resources for health and well-being.

Responsibilities

The duties below cover financial analysis, weekly and monthly reporting, and partnership with business owners. Several of them involve building models with little guidance and explaining the results to people outside finance.

• Build financial models and analyses with little guidance, draw conclusions and make recommendations that improve results and can influence leaders across Amazon.
• Deliver the weekly and monthly financial close, along with planning, forecasting, budgeting and consolidations, using financial systems and advanced Excel functions.
• Build partnerships with business owners, manage competing priorities and give guidance when unexpected events come up.
• Align financial and operational analyses with your business partners on your own, and challenge their assumptions when necessary.
• Communicate data in writing and verbally, clearly and without ambiguity, adjusting your style to the audience so complex finance issues are understood.
• Collect and analyze quantitative data to produce reports that let partners act quickly and that lead to cost reductions.
• Find and fix finance defects, and automate, standardize or simplify finance processes and tools across teams.
• Take part in hiring, developing and mentoring, and set a positive, collaborative example for new team members.
