Description

Join our team as a Senior Financial Analyst to support the fast-growing AWS Dedicated Cloud business. As part of the Regions Finance team, you’ll drive strategic financial planning and analysis for AWS Infrastructure. This role offers the unique opportunity to own CAPEX planning for an entire region, with visibility across the entire P&L. You’ll leverage your financial expertise to influence leadership business decisions and support long-term growth initiatives. This role works to understand the financial impact of high-level business trends (such as customer adoption, GenAI capacity planning, etc.) and synthesize insights to provide the business strategic financial analysis.

Your strong problem-solving skills and leadership communication will be essential as you partner with senior leadership to develop financial frameworks that enable data-driven decision making. You’ll analyze complex data sets, identify strategic opportunities, and provide valuable insights that shape the direction of the business.

• Independently align financial and operational analyses with business partners, challenging assumptions when necessary and providing recommendations that influence data-driven decision making.

• Identify opportunities and implement large-scale financial solutions to proactively resolve finance issues, improve scalability, and simplify finance tools and processes across teams.

• Dive deep to ensure reporting accuracy and compliance with internal and external policies while promoting strong controllership principles.

A day in the life

In this dynamic role, you’ll find yourself tackling strategic financial problems that directly impact business performance. Rather than following a routine, you’ll prioritize what’s most important each day—whether that’s developing financial models for new initiatives, collaborating with leadership on investment decisions, or analyzing P&L components to identify optimization opportunities. You’ll leverage data to influence cross-functional partners and present financial insights that drive meaningful business outcomes.
