Full Job Description
Amazon's North American Customer Fulfillment (NACF) Finance is looking for a Finance Manager to join our Planning pillar within US Non-Sortable Network Finance. This role drives impact across Non-Sort's $3.5 billion variable cost base by ensuring the accuracy and rigor of financial plans that guide network-level investment decisions. You'll partner with Operations, Supply Chain, Central Planning (RaPT), and Finance leadership to produce planning deliverables across quarterly guidance and annual operating plan cycles. Your work shapes how Amazon evaluates productivity, volume, and cost assumptions across 69 fulfillment centers-translating operational complexity into financial narratives that inform multi-billion dollar decisions for senior leadership.

Success in Role:

You are passionate about financial planning and operational analytics, with a bias for action and proven ability to build mechanisms that scale. You work backwards from the financial plan with a first-principles mindset-asking not just "what changed" but "why it changed and what it means for cost." You understand both the technical aspects planning and the business implications of planning assumptions, translating complex metrics into compelling narratives for VP-level audiences. You think big about mechanizing processes while maintaining attention to detail. You thrive in ambiguity and bring intellectual curiosity to understanding how operational drivers flow through to financial outcomes.

Key job responsibilities

Planning Cycle Execution & Deliverables:
• Execute critical components of planning deliverables across quarterly guidance (Q2G, Q3G, Q4G) and annual operating plan (OP1, OP2) cycles
• Build and maintain standardized planning artifacts covering key metrics to be reviewed by senior Operations and Finance leadership
• Analyze and validate secondary and tertiary input metrics to quantify their impact on plan outcomes at granular and network levels

Data Quality, Automation & Process Improvement:
• Develop automated tools and reporting to audit critical planning inputs from parter teams, reducing manual reconciliation time and improving error detection
• Build models, tables, and analytical tools that enable rapid sensitivity analysis-allowing leadership to evaluate input assumptions on cost outcomes

Stakeholder Partnership & Cross-Functional Coordination:
• Partner effectively with key stakeholders from Central Finance, Regional Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations leadership to coordinate planning inputs and align assumptions
• Collaborate with Planning leads across NACF peer networks (AR Sortable, TSSL, IXD) to share best practices, establish standard work, and advocate for process improvements
• Maintain a clear and consistent feedback loop with stakeholders to drive accountability

A day in the life

You'll steer the strategic direction for how USNS plans and communicates its cost outlook while simultaneously staying hyper-focused on the details. During planning cycles, this means coordinating inputs from upstream teams, building analytical models that translate assumptions into cost narratives, inspecting plans for errors, and producing comprehensive documents under tight timelines. Between cycles, you'll be inventing-automating manual processes, building new tools, refining methodologies, and strengthening cross-functional relationships so the next cycle runs smoother than the last.

About the team

This role sits within the USNS Planning pillar-a dedicated function created in 2025 to bring consistency, rigor, and single-threaded ownership to network-level financial planning that was previously managed through rotating special assignments. The team partners closely with Central Finance, Field Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations. This is a high-visibility function that produces deliverables reviewed by USNS Operations VP and NACF Finance senior leadership.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 5+ years of tax, finance or a related analytical field experience

- 6+ years of building financial and operational reports/data sets that inform business decision-making experience

- 6+ years of creating process improvements with automation and analysis experience

- Bachelor's degree

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 6+ years of identifying incomplete or inaccurate data, identifying the root cause and creating/implementing an escalation plan experience

- 6+ years of solving complex business challenges by delivering accurate and timely financial models, analysis, and recommendations that have a proven impact on business (e.g., financial savings, operational improvements, or customer benefits) experience

- MBA, or CPA

- Knowledge of SQL/ETL
