This position plays a key, active role on a small team that drives corporate transactions across Amazon. This person will own the financial analyses that guide decision-making among senior business leaders and Corporate / Business Development teams.

Own the financial narrative: Distill complex or novel transactions into clear, decision-ready narratives that frame trade-offs and support sound judgment.

Partner across deal teams: Work closely with Corporate Development, business finance, legal, tax, and accounting stakeholders to drive integrated analyses (e.g., Buy vs. Build, synergy modeling, investment frameworks). You will build and leverage a network of trusted colleagues across AWS and Amazon to bring business-centric expertise into your financial evaluations.

Influence beyond the model: As a trusted finance partner on core deal teams, your perspective will extend into strategic rationale, target assessment, negotiation considerations, and the structure of approval documents ensuring financial insight shapes the full decision-making process.

About the team

The AWS Corporate Development Finance team plays a central role in leading due diligence efforts, conducting extensive research on industries, potential partners, and competitors, and communicating findings and recommendations to senior management and executive teams.

Basic Qualifications

• BA / BS degree required and a minimum 10 years of finance experience, or master’s degree and 8 years of experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.


• 8+ years of corporate development, private equity, investment banking, or other transaction-related / due diligence experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in making data driven business decisions
