Job description

Amazon is hiring a Finance Manager for our Global Corporate Procurement (GCP) Finance team at our Arlington office. This role is crucial to our corporate sourcing strategy and company success. As a Finance Manager on the GCP Finance team, you will shape and lead the financial strategy behind our most strategic negotiations, operating in ambiguous situations where the path forward is not yet defined and using your judgment to set the right goals and design durable, long-term solutions. You will develop innovative sourcing pricing strategies and lead the financial approach to negotiating sustainable, long-term partnerships.

The GCP Finance team supports multiple business areas, including Marketing, Logistics, Global Real Estate, Employee Services, Technology, and Professional Services. Partnering with Strategic Sourcing Managers and leaders across these organizations, you will influence strategic decision-making through data-driven recommendations, challenging business partner assumptions and plans and bringing disruptive ideas that improve outcomes.

This role requires someone who owns complex, often ambiguous problems end-to-end, mitigating long-term risk and finding a path forward in difficult situations while managing multiple priorities across teams and organizations. You will drive best practices and build scalable solutions that simplify and automate financial tools and processes, and you will act as a force multiplier by mentoring others and giving back to the Finance community. The ideal candidate is deeply versed in financial concepts and tools, performs multifaceted analysis with limited guidance, and communicates complex outcomes clearly to senior, non-Finance partners with the backbone to disagree and commit.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a diverse, talented team that has a daily impact on company success. At Amazon, we're building the future through innovation, one product, service, and idea at a time.

If you're ready to embrace this challenge and help shape Amazon's future.

Key job responsibilities

• Design and own scalable, multi-variable models for sourcing cost-benefit decisions, surfacing key drivers and recommendations that shape negotiation strategy.

• Own product-cost reporting, auditing accuracy and data integrity and mentoring others on it.

• Lead cross-functional operational reviews with leadership, driving alignment and influencing strategic decisions.

• Challenge and advise Finance and Procurement teams, independently identifying opportunities to improve performance.

• Navigate across Finance, Tax, Procurement, and Accounting to quantify the financial impact of purchasing at Amazon.

• Set direction on cost management, reporting, and forecasting initiatives, owning them end-to-end and mitigating long-term risk.

• Define and drive cost management policy and scalable, AI-native processes that help the organization grow and reach more customers.

A day in the life

You will partner with Strategic Sourcing Managers across categories and business lines to analyze the economics of upcoming negotiations, validating savings baselines, building pricing models, and completing true-ups to confirm value delivered. A signature challenge is negotiating large, complex contracts spanning hundreds of line items from many suppliers, where you move fast, make judgment calls, and earn senior customers' trust.

You will also help scale how the team works, rebuilding processes to support more partnerships and focus on more rewarding analysis, using AI to get there.

About the team

Our vision is to be trusted financial partners that enable Amazon’s flywheel by partnering with the business to excel and scale through innovative solutions and strategic analyses that drive cost savings and FCF opportunities.
