Amazon"s Fulfillment Network is one of the most complex and dynamic operating environments in the world and the Fixed, Capital, Analytics and Planning (FCAP) team sits at the financial center of it all. We"re looking for a Finance Manager within our Business Unit Partnership Pillar who is ready to own the fixed cost narrative for a multi-billion dollar portfolio and use it to shape how senior leaders invest, operate, and build the future of fulfillment.
This isn"t a back-office finance role. You"ll be the go-to financial voice for one or more fulfillment business units, partnering directly with Central FP&A, Directors across Ops and Finance, VP-level operations leaders, Topology & Network Planning, RME Finance, Capital teams, and E2E Category teams. Your analysis won"t just explain what happened, it will drive what happens next. You"ll translate complex cost dynamics into strategic recommendations that land in rooms where network-shaping decisions are made. If you want a seat at the table where billion-dollar infrastructure investments are debated, where topology decisions reshape the map, and where your financial storytelling directly influences senior leader action this is the role.
Key job responsibilities
Enhance decision-making through advanced cost transparency initiatives, while implementing and optimizing standardized reporting frameworks to drive measurable business value.
Drive strategy and tradeoff analysis as part of leading comprehensive financial planning cycles (OP, Guidance, 3YF, Monthly Outlook) while ensuring alignment with network strategy and partnership with key stakeholders.
Partner with operations, finance leadership and E2E Category SMEs to identify and execute cost reduction initiatives, creating scalable solutions across the network.
Own month-end and quarter-end financial close processes and bridges, delivering accurate consolidated reporting and detailed fixed cost analysis. Develop compelling executive narratives that bridge performance metrics with business outcomes.
Execute on WCR/WBR reporting including FCPU metrics, delivering timely insights to senior leadership with clear narratives and actionable recommendations.
Create and present compelling monthly finance reviews with detailed bridge analyses explaining cost movements, variances, and operational impacts that inform strategic decision-making.
Drive automation and process improvement across fixed cost planning, analysis, and reporting processes, leveraging AI and machine learning capabilities to enhance predictive accuracy, optimize cost transparency, and streamline decision-making workflows through compelling bridge analyses and executive narratives.
Develop and maintain sophisticated financial models using Excel/SQL/Cognos to support forecasting, planning, and strategic initiatives.
A day in the life
Success in this role is visible and felt across the organization. You"ll know you"re winning when senior leaders seek your perspective before making decisions, not after. Your financial reporting is trusted, your narratives drive action, and your process improvements scale across the entire fulfillment network. You connect upstream FP&A teams, Topology, RME Finance, Capital teams, and operational leaders to the decisions that shape the network. Every cost line becomes a story that influences where we invest, where we optimize, and where we build next. The ideal candidate brings a bias for action, thrives in complexity, and sees every cost line as an opportunity to tell a story that shapes the future of the network.
