Are you ready to own one of the most consequential financial deliverables at Amazon - the enterprise free cash flow forecast that goes directly to the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer, and Board of Directors? We"re looking for a strategic finance leader who thrives at the intersection of financial analysis, executive storytelling, and technical innovation. In this role, you"ll not only lead the forecasting cycles that synthesize inputs from across all of Amazon, but you"ll also drive the multi-year transformation to fully automate these capabilities - building scalable platforms that eliminate manual processes and deliver insights at unprecedented speed and accuracy.

This is a rare opportunity to combine deep financial expertise with technical product ownership. You"ll partner with Treasury, Tax, Accounting, and M&A to create a unified view of Amazon"s cash generation, craft compelling narratives for our most senior leaders, and architect the future state of our forecasting infrastructure alongside our technology teams. If you"re energized by high-visibility challenges, cross-functional collaboration, and the chance to leave a lasting mark on how Amazon forecasts and manages cash, this role is for you.

Key job responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end production of Amazon"s enterprise free cash flow forecast, synthesizing inputs from business finance, Treasury, Tax, Accounting, and M&A into executive-ready deliverables for the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer, and Board of Directors
  • Drive the technical roadmap and product strategy to automate free cash flow forecasting and reporting, partnering with technology teams to eliminate manual workflows and build scalable, repeatable platforms
  • Provide strategic management and align your team to deliver high-quality financial analysis, continuously raising the bar on forecasting accuracy, variance insights, and narrative quality
  • Build and maintain cross-functional partnerships with Treasury, Tax, Accounting, and M&A to ensure alignment on cash and tax forecast assumptions, transaction modeling, and enterprise-wide planning
  • Develop and grow a high-performing team by establishing mechanisms for talent development, succession planning, and operational excellence while fostering a culture of ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement

A day in the life

A typical day involves a mix of deep financial analysis, cross-functional collaboration, and technical partnership. You might start the morning reviewing variance drivers in the latest free cash flow forecast with your team, then jump into a working session with Treasury and Tax to align on cash and tax forecast inputs. Midday could involve refining a narrative for an upcoming Board deliverable or partnering with Treasury on modeling the cash flow impact of a potential transaction. In the afternoon, you might lead a sprint review with the technology team to assess progress on automating a key reporting workflow, followed by a one-on-one with a direct report to discuss their development.

About the team

Corporate Finance Planning and Analysis provides strategic support to Amazon"s Chief Financial Officer and executive team on enterprise-wide planning, analysis, and reporting. Our team is responsible for the production and administration of several key finance deliverables, including month-end and quarter-end processes, quarterly estimates, the annual operating plan, the three-year forecast, and free cash flow and capital expenditure narratives shared with business finance teams, functional teams, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer, and the Board of Directors to drive strategic operational and funding decisions.

We are a team that values intellectual curiosity, ownership, and a proactive approach to solving problems - and we"re in the middle of an exciting transformation to automate and scale our reporting capabilities. You"ll join a group that thrives on collaboration, champions innovation, and is committed to building an inclusive environment where every team member can contribute and grow.

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
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.
