    Description

    Amazon is seeking a Senior ERP Transformation manager to lead Accounting program execution for a multi-year transformation of Amazon's Finance ERP platform. This leader will serve as a lead for the ERP transformation, driving integrated execution across Accounting, Finance, Product, Engineering, Solution Architecture, Internal Controls, SAP, and implementation partners.

    This role will translate the ERP transformation strategy into an executable program and ensure Accounting requirements are successfully delivered through design, build, testing, deployment, and stabilization. The Senior ERP Transformation Manager will establish program governance, drive cross-functional decisions, manage risks and dependencies, coordinate Accounting workstreams, and ensure the program remains aligned with Amazon's controllership, financial reporting, and operational requirements.

    The ideal candidate combines deep accounting and controllership expertise with exceptional large-scale program leadership. They should be comfortable operating at the intersection of Accounting and technology, navigating ambiguity, influencing senior leaders, and driving complex decisions across organizations.

    About Company

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
