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.
