Job description

Are you a technical leader who thrives on building high-performing teams and solving complex architectural challenges? Amazon is looking for a Manager III, Solutions Architect to lead a team of talented solutions architects who help customers design and implement scalable, reliable cloud-based solutions. In this role, you will combine your deep technical expertise with people leadership to guide your team in delivering impactful architectural recommendations that address real customer needs.

You will define strategy, set goals, and partner with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure your team delivers measurable outcomes. From mentoring individual contributors to shaping long-term technical direction, your work will directly influence how customers build and grow on Amazon's platforms. If you are a collaborative, curious leader who enjoys working at the intersection of technology and business, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead SAP Finance functional strategy and delivery across financial accounting, controlling, and Record-to-Report (R2R), ensuring solutions align with business priorities and long-term architecture.
• Own end-to-end SAP Finance implementations and enhancements, including requirements gathering, solution design, configuration, testing, deployment, and production support.
• Drive finance process standardization and transformation across General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets, Cost Accounting, and financial close processes.

A day in the life

Your morning might start with a one-on-one coaching session, helping a solutions architect prepare for a customer engagement. By midday, you could be reviewing an architectural proposal with engineering partners, pressure-testing assumptions and refining the approach. Afternoons often involve strategic planning - defining metrics, assessing team capacity, or aligning with stakeholders on upcoming priorities. Throughout it all, you will balance tactical problem-solving with long-term thinking, ensuring your team has the support and clarity they need to do their best work.

Our team is focused on helping customers navigate complex challenges and build solutions that scale. We operate in a collaborative environment where stakeholders, architects, and SI partners work closely together to deliver results that matter. We are committed to building an inclusive team culture where every voice is heard and contributions are recognized.

Looking ahead, we are investing in new approaches to solution design and customer engagement. As a leader on this team, you will play a key role in shaping that direction and growing the next generation of technical talent at Amazon.
