Join the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Finance team and help shape how AWS partners scale the business. We are looking for an analytical, execution-oriented Senior Financial Analyst to support core Partner GTM programs and incentives, with direct exposure to resell motions and a $1B+ investment portfolio. This role sits at the intersection of finance, sales strategy, and partner operations, and plays a critical role in ensuring disciplined execution, strong financial governance, and clear leadership decision-making.
In this role, you will partner closely with the AWS Specialists and Partners organization to own program-level financial support, including OP2 planning, monthly R&O, in-year reforecasting, and leadership reporting. You will evaluate large-scale partner investments, support incentive and resell programs, help consolidate program and project codes in coordination with FP&A and TM1, and contribute to scalable governance mechanisms for strategic partner agreements.

• Design, maintain, and improve rhythm-of-the-business mechanisms that track progress to goals, monitor investment performance, and deliver actionable KPIs and insights to senior leaders.
• Lead program and project code consolidation in coordination with FP&A and TM1, ensuring clean budget alignment, accurate accruals, and reliable financial reporting.
• Dive deep into variances, trends, and material results to identify underlying business drivers and recommend corrective actions or strategic adjustments.
• Partner with finance technology and operations teams to automate, standardize, and simplify financial processes, improving scalability, accuracy, and speed of execution.
