Within Amazon’s Corporate Financial Planning & Analysis team (FP&A), the Planning & Insights team enjoys a unique vantage point into everything happening within Amazon. Our team provides strategic support to the CFO, CEO, senior leadership and the Board of Directors on enterprise-wide planning, analysis, and reporting. As the central place the entire company looks to for an understanding of financial performance, we play a major role in driving company-wide financial processes and business decisions.

The Planning & Insights team seeks a talented Principal Finance Manager to own and lead two key global processes. In this role, you will be the global process owner for public and non-public financial data reporting for the legal community, and will drive governance and process and technology advances for this space, working closely with Finance, Accounting, Legal and Technology partners across Amazon.
