The International Emerging Stores (IES) Financial Planning & Analysis team is looking for a Finance Manager to join our central FP&A function on the ground in Brazil. IES is one of Amazon's fastest-growing businesses, spanning emerging marketplaces across Latin America, Middle East, Africa, and beyond. This is a dynamic, high-impact role that blends financial analysis, business partnering, and ad hoc project leadership — sitting at the intersection of local market context and central IES FP&A priorities.
The ideal candidate will have experience in consumer/retail finance, with a strong background in financial analysis, reporting, and business partnering. They will be a versatile self-starter — equally comfortable diving deep into financial details and stepping back to manage cross-functional projects. The ideal candidate will bring excellent communication and problem-solving skills and thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, supporting both structured planning cycles and unscripted, high-priority requests from senior leadership.
Key job responsibilities
- Partner with central IES FP&A and local Brazil finance and business teams to support planning cycles, financial reviews, and leadership deliverables
- Lead and execute a variety of ad hoc analytical and project-based workstreams, bringing structure and rigor to ambiguous or fast-moving requests
- Support financial reporting for the Emerging Stores business, including budgeting, forecasting, and performance tracking — ensuring outputs are accurate, timely, and decision-ready
- Serve as a liaison between on-the-ground business context in Brazil and central IES FP&A priorities in Seattle
- Identify opportunities to improve financial processes and analytical frameworks; drive improvements with a bias for scalable, repeatable solutions
- Experience in tax, finance or a related analytical field
- Experience in multiple finance and accounting roles
- Experience applying key financial performance indicators (KPIs) to analyses
- Experience in building financial and operational reports/data sets that inform business decision-making
- Experience in creating process improvements with automation and analysis
- Experience participating in continuous improvement projects in your team to scale and improve controllership with measurable results
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, statistics or business
- English language proficiency, both written and oral
- MBA, or CPA
- Knowledge of SQL/ETL
- Experience working with large-scale data mining and reporting tools (examples: SQL, MS Access, Essbase, Cognos) and other financial systems (examples: Oracle, SAP, Lawson, JD Edwards)
- Experience delivering forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis, and data interpretation of results
- Experience in identifying incomplete or inaccurate data, identifying the root cause and creating/implementing an escalation plan
- Experience in 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)

Amazon runs the largest online store in the United States and rents cloud computing to businesses and governments through Amazon Web Services. AWS pioneered renting computing power over the internet, and Amazon built its own delivery network to get orders to customers quickly. Shoppers buy from Amazon and from independent sellers on its store, and Prime members pay a subscription for fast free shipping, streaming video and music, and other perks. AWS rents out computing power, storage, databases, and AI tools so companies can run software without owning servers, and Amazon also makes Kindle e-readers and Echo speakers with the Alexa assistant. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, and it is based in Seattle, Washington.
