    Description

    Are you ready to get in on the ground floor of Amazon's long-term initiative to design, launch and maintain a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites to provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved communities around the world?

    It's Day 1 for Amazon's next billion dollar business and we are looking for an entrepreneurial minded Finance Manager to work in a start-up environment who is passionate about technology, manufacturing and FP&A, who thinks/acts globally, and has the ability to create and implement solutions, processes and controls.

    We are seeking a Finance Manager to serve as the strategic finance partner to Amazon Leo"s Quality Assurance organization and Manufacturing Analytics & Reporting. This role owns the end-to-end financial management of the QA organization - spanning source inspections, inbound quality, manufacturing quality operations, Payload Processing Facility (PPF) quality, and equipment calibration - while simultaneously developing the analytics frameworks and reporting tools that provide financial visibility across satellite production operations.

    This is a high-impact role that directly influences how leadership understands satellite production economics. You will develop and publish Total Cost Per Unit (TCPU) metrics, build KPI dashboards from SAP/MES data, own production reporting, and drive the financial planning for a QA organization managing a large workforce with significant OpEx budgets.

    • Develop and maintain headcount models for both full-time and contingent workforce, partnering with QA leadership to assess staffing needs against production volume and quality metrics
    • Build financial frameworks to analyze workforce utilization vs. inspection workload and create tracking mechanisms to monitor actual vs. forecasted spend
    • Leverage Amazon"s AI tools to develop intelligent analytical dashboards, automate anomaly detection, generate predictive insights on cost trends and material scrap, and accelerate reporting cycles across manufacturing and quality operations
    • Simplify complex data sets into concise performance indicators that provide meaningful, actionable data to end users
    • Develop and maintain a comprehensive Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) framework quantifying the total financial impact of quality failures across the production lifecycle
    • Build financial models linking scrap rates and yield loss to TCPU impact, enabling leadership to prioritize root cause corrective actions with the highest cost-avoidance potential
    • Serve as a trusted financial advisor to Sr. Managers, and cross-functional partners
    • Provide financial insights during Weekly Business Reviews (WBR), Monthly Business Reviews (MBR), and executive operating reviews

    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.
