Senior Manager - Finance Transformation Delivery, Accounting Transformation Group

Description

Amazon is seeking a Delivery and Integrated Program Management Lead to drive end-to-end execution for a multi-year transformation of Amazon’s accounting technology landscape. This leader will drive integrated delivery across Accounting, Finance, Product, Engineering, Solution Architecture, Internal Controls, SAP, and implementation partners.
This role will translate the transformation strategy into an executable, integrated program and ensure Accounting requirements are successfully delivered through design, build, testing, deployment, and stabilization. The Delivery and Integrated Program Management Lead will establish program governance, manage the integrated plan, drive cross-functional decisions, and proactively address risks, dependencies, resource constraints, and critical-path activities.
In addition to overall program integration, this leader will be directly responsible for the Data Migration and Release, Change and Training, Business Readiness, and Testing and Quality workstreams. They will ensure these capabilities are coordinated with solution design and engineering activities and that the organization, data, processes, controls, and users are prepared for a controlled and successful deployment.
The ideal candidate combines strong Finance and Accounting technology knowledge with exceptional large-scale delivery and program leadership. They should be comfortable operating at the intersection of Accounting and technology, navigating ambiguity, influencing senior leaders, and driving complex decisions across organizations. This person will not simply track milestones; they will anticipate issues, establish mechanisms to resolve them, and hold teams and partners accountable for clear decisions and measurable outcomes.
The role requires strong knowledge of enterprise Finance technology delivery, including data migration, system and business testing, defect management, release and cutover planning, organizational change, training, business readiness, deployment, and post-launch stabilization. Experience with large-scale SAP S/4HANA, Oracle ERP, or comparable Finance transformation programs is highly preferred.

• Maintain transparent reporting on program health, accomplishments, risks, dependencies, financial implications, and decisions requiring leadership attention.
• Manage technology vendors, systems integrators, and consulting partners, including their deliverables, dependencies, performance, and accountability.
