Full Job Description
Amazon Leo is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to join our Global Long-Range Planning (LRP) & Strategy team. This role supports our mission to provide fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities worldwide through a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites. You'll work hands-on with the data, models, and tools that produce Leo's financial outputs - touching 150+ country P&L models, fixed cost allocations, and automated planning systems. Your work will directly feed into materials reviewed by Amazon's most senior leadership. As a member of the LRP team, you'll build and maintain financial models, execute planning cycles, drive automation, and own controllership processes that enable a small team to manage enterprise-level complexity. This is a high-impact execution role with exceptional exposure to strategic finance.

Key job responsibilities

- Build and maintain long-range financial models - support the 150+ country P&L consolidation by validating inputs, troubleshooting discrepancies, and ensuring model integrity each cycle

- Execute planning automation and UAT - partner with FinTech to test new features in Leo's automated planning tools; design test plans and validate outputs

- Own Non-HC OpEx controllership execution - process purchase orders, execute month-end close reconciliation, manage accruals and reversals, and prepare variance bridges

- Maintain headcount data and budget tracking - update plan-to-actual HC reports and flag variances to support the approval process

- Support Operating Plan (OP) cycle execution - manage templates, track stakeholder submissions against deadlines, apply validation rules, and escalate quality issues

- Execute fixed cost allocations - maintain country code, city metro, and job family mapping tables; compute regionalized CPH rates; process gateway expense allocations

- Track and report automation KPIs to quantify ROI of planning tool investments

- Prepare assumption sensitivity analyses and scenario variants for executive decision-making

- Maintain documentation and audit trails - preserve version control, document methodology decisions and exception approvals

- Identify opportunities to automate manual workflows and build self-service tools that reduce ad-hoc requests

A day in the life

You start your day running validation checks on overnight country-level P&L submissions - flagging missing inputs and resolving discrepancies before consolidation deadlines. Mid-morning, you're in a UAT session testing a new automation feature with the FinTech team. Before lunch, you process purchase orders for operating expenses and reconcile prior-period accruals. In the afternoon, you refresh fixed cost allocation tables with latest headcount data and run a sensitivity analysis on a proposed replan scenario. You end the day updating the team's automation KPI dashboard.

About the team

You'll join the Global Long-Range Planning & Strategy team within Leo BizOps Finance. We own the 10-year financial roadmap, OP cycle execution, cost allocation methodology, and financial governance behind one of Amazon's largest capital investment decisions. We operate with startup speed while delivering at the precision Amazon's most senior executives expect. Our automated systems reduced manual P&L consolidation by 90%+, enabling a small team to absorb growing complexity. We value intellectual curiosity, ownership, and building scalable mechanisms over one-off solutions.
