At Amazon, we"re working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. Operations is at the heart of what we do, delivering millions of packages each day and fulfilling customer orders from all over the world. Amazon is seeking a Finance Manager to support Amazon Logistics (AMZL) and Rural Super Rural (RSR) - our expanding delivery and pickup operations, purpose-built to deliver for both Amazon customers and third-party (3P) shippers.

This Finance Manager role will focus on On-the-Road (OTR) cost and play a key role in disruptive new transportation initiatives that are changing the nature of Amazon's supply chain and customer experience. Specifically, this individual will focus on defining granular cost segmentation for new and expanding commingled delivery activities, including Hub delivery partner supply runs, Multiple Modes of Transportation (MMOT, e.g. walkers and e-bikes) deliveries, and Merchant Fulfillment Network (MFN) and 3P deliveries. This role will collaborate cross-functionally to redefine how we plan and report actual productivity and OTR cost as AMZL takes on new pickup and delivery activities, and serving as a key contributor through the team"s intensive quarterly and annual financial planning cycles (OP1/3YF, OP2, Q2G, Q3G, Q4G). The AMZL/RSR OTR Finance team is focused on costs associated with both Last-Mile (LM) deliveries and First-Mile (FM) pickups, supporting both tactical and strategic initiatives to provide a better customer experience and reduce overall costs. This role plays a key part in further enhancing the largest and most cost-effective delivery business in the world, offering opportunities to demonstrate financial leadership and make strategic, long-term impact.

The successful candidate will play a critical role in operational and financial planning, and they will be at the forefront of identifying scalable solutions to segment costs associated with commingled LM delivery activities, creating granular reporting that enables accurate cost allocation to partner business lines. This individual will support weekly, monthly, and quarterly financial review processes, with an emphasis on analyzing and forecasting to provide financial insights to leadership. The role requires extensive cross-functional partnership with various operations, transportation, finance, planning, and other support teams to identify and address cost opportunities across the network and improve reporting practices. This individual will contribute to business reviews, network scale initiatives, risk mitigations, and ad-hoc analysis.

The successful candidate will have a high attention to detail, unlimited curiosity, a strong passion for continuous improvement, and excellent technical skills (e.g. SQL querying, Excel modeling, AI integration). They will demonstrate strong business judgment, influence senior leaders through data-driven insights, and drive innovation in ambiguous environments. This role provides opportunities to lead develop scalable solutions and solve difficult problems while collaborating effectively with Director and Vice President-level leaders across Amazon.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. 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.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

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.
