Amazon Business (AB) is a global B2B marketplace operating across 11+ countries. We are seeking a Finance Manager to lead finance transformation initiatives across AB's worldwide FP&A organization. This role will drive standardization, automation, and scalable efficiency improvements that accelerate how finance teams generate insights, close the books, and support business decisions.
The successful candidate will own the strategy and execution of financial process transformation - identifying manual workflows, designing scalable solutions, and building the infrastructure that enables AB Finance to operate faster and more accurately at global scale. This includes leading automation of reporting and analytical processes, building data architecture that improves trust and accessibility of financial information, and developing AI-assisted capabilities that shift finance teams from manual production to strategic analysis.

You will work across the full AB Finance organization - partnering with FP&A, controllership, planning, and business partnership teams - to identify the highest-impact transformation opportunities and deliver them end-to-end. You will build mechanisms that scale across geographies and business segments, reducing cycle times and improving quality for financial close, monthly reporting, and planning processes.
The ideal candidate combines deep finance fundamentals with a passion for systems thinking, process improvement, and emerging technology. You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and measure success by the operational impact delivered to finance teams and business partners.
