Job description

DESCRIPTION

Join Amazon Fresh, our fast-growing grocery business, in a high-profile role shaping financial strategy across eight countries and multiple channels including International Fresh Online, UK Physical Stores, and Worldwide Grocery Partnerships.

As a key member of the International Fresh FP&A team, you'll drive financial planning and analysis across a diverse, complex business that's continuously expanding through new launches and services. Working in a fast-paced environment across, overseeing full P&Ls, you'll partner with senior stakeholders to influence key business decisions and drive strategy. This role offers exceptional exposure and growth opportunities, requiring an entrepreneurial mindset and ability to 'wear many hats'. We're looking for candidates who thrive in complexity, bring strong analytical capabilities, and can work collaboratively to solve challenging problems in this rapidly evolving business.

Key job responsibilities
• Partner with a broad range of finance and business leaders across the WW Fresh and Physical Stores organization, often at some of the most senior levels within the company (including Country Finance, Ops, Marketing, and local business leads, across both International and NA).
• Lead annual and long-range forecasting processes, consolidating inputs across multiple businesses and stakeholders into clear, compelling narratives for SVP-level reviews.
• Proactively design and implement scalable tools and mechanisms, with particular focus on planning, headcount management and reporting. Identify opportunities to simplify and automate processes, improving efficiency across teams.
• Manage ad hoc requests, financial deep dives and analyses from senior leadership.
• Actively coach more junior resources across the team.

A day in the life
While the role includes core FP&A responsibilities (e.g. reporting and planning), the real value comes from being a strategic thought partner to the business. As such, there is no 'typical day', but you might start by reviewing bottom-up plans across eight locales, identifying where there could be tension and proactively navigating risks and opportunities. This often shapes proactive discussions with business leaders about where they should focus their attention and resources. You'll frequently find yourself connecting dots across different parts of the business, using financial insights to guide strategic decisions.

The role offers significant autonomy to define where you can add the most value, moving beyond traditional FP&A to become a trusted advisor to leadership.

About the team
The wider International Fresh/WWGP Finance team supports our businesses across 8 countries, and is therefore very adept at working cross-country and sharing information. This means we are a close team, despite the geographical location!

Across the wider Int'l Fresh Finance team, we have a 3 word brand - "Trust, Insight, Impact". It's really important to us as a team that we spend the time on things that drive real insight and make tangible impacts positively on the business. Fundamental to this is great business partnering and establishing Trust with leadership.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience in multiple finance and accounting roles
- Experience applying key financial performance indicators (KPIs) to analyses
- Experience in building financial and operational reports/data sets that inform business decision-making
