Senior Financial Analyst, Rapid and Rural Logistics Finance

Description

We are looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to own how costs are attributed across Amazon's Sub-Same-Day (SSD) network, with an initial focus on perishables programs. As these programs scale rapidly on shared fulfillment infrastructure, you will build the dedicated cost attribution frameworks that give each program its own accurate, ASIN-level economics — replacing blended assumptions with automated, auditable logic embedded directly in Amazon's allocation engines.

This is not a traditional FP&A. You will translate business and financial intent into system-level requirements, working directly with allocation model owners and engineering teams to close methodology gaps and validate that outputs reflect economic reality. You'll need deep cost accounting intuition combined with the ability to navigate ambiguity in a matrixed organization where no established playbook exists.

What Makes This Role Exciting

• You'll define how every cost line in the P&L is measured for programs standing up dedicated financial infrastructure for the first time

• You'll work at the intersection of finance and engineering, translating allocation methodology into technical requirements that change how Amazon's systems process costs

• You'll enable entirely new capabilities — system native speed-tier cost differentiation, ASIN-level unit economics, and the precise cost foundation that drives confident investment and expansion decisions

Key job responsibilities

• Design the financial logic and rules that determine how costs should be attributed to programs — including decisions like whether storage costs should follow cube footprint or throughput intensity, how commingled delivery routes should split across programs, and how temperature-zone cost differentials should be reflected

• Translate financial methodology into system-level technical requirements that engineering and model-owner teams can implement — serving as the bridge between “how finance needs it to work” and “how the system is built to do it”

• Own the accuracy of upstream financial data that feeds every downstream system — including product hierarchy classification, GL-to-program mappings, cost center assignments — establishing monitoring and governance mechanisms so data quality doesn't silently degrade as programs scale

• Validate automated cost outputs against legacy processes and known benchmarks during transition, and establish ongoing accuracy monitoring to ensure cost attribution remains correct as volume mixes shift and fulfillment models evolve

• Lead cross-functional working sessions with model owners, Controllership, Transportation Finance, Accounting, and Engineering teams

• Develop repeatable frameworks and documentation that can be leveraged across different organizations

About the team

The Finance Foundation & Enablement (F2E) team is a program-building team within the Rapid and Rural Logistics Finance organization.

We build and evolve the financial systems foundation that enables these programs to measure, understand, and optimize their economics — from automated cost allocation at the ASIN level to enabling the reporting dimensions, analytical tools, and planning capabilities the organization needs to make faster, more reliable decisions.

Our vision is to be the blueprint for how any new Amazon program — regardless of geography or fulfillment model — stands up its financial infrastructure from day one. We design solutions that are scalable worldwide; our frameworks, methodologies, and playbooks make financial system integration a solved problem.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business, finance, accounting, tax, economics, or a related analytical field

• 3+ years of finance, accounting, or related analytical field experience

Preferred Qualifications

• 4+ years of participating in continuous improvement projects in your team to scale and improve controllership with measurable results experience

• MBA, or CPA

• Knowledge of of financial reporting tools (Cognos, Redshift)

• 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)
