Finance Analyst
Amazon
Sells products online and rents cloud computing
Ever wondered if the money a company invests actually works? In this role, you'll be the one who answers that question — and your findings will directly shape how one of the world's largest marketplaces allocates resources to grow.
You'll join a high-visibility finance team that sits at the intersection of strategy and execution, evaluating investment programs from business case all the way through real-world results. This is not a reporting role — you'll be expected to have opinions, challenge assumptions, and influence decisions at the senior leadership level.
Key job responsibilities
What you'll be doing:
-Building investment evaluation frameworks that connect business actions (seller growth, selection expansion, promotional activity) to financial outcomes (revenue, margin, efficiency) — and tracking whether the connection holds in practice
-Developing ROI models with clear pre-deployment thresholds, success metrics, and kill criteria so the team can make fast, disciplined capital allocation decisions
-Running a regular investment governance cadence — synthesizing performance signals across a multi-million dollar portfolio and delivering sharp recommendations to senior leadership
-Partnering with business, operations, and marketing teams to align on assumptions and hold everyone accountable to shared targets
-Identifying what's not working and making the case to reallocate or shut it down — portfolio discipline is as important as finding new opportunities

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.
