Future CFOs wanted! Amazon seeks a Principal Finance Manager to partner with innovators, builders, and operators who think outside of the box and transform bold new ideas into high-impact strategic initiatives that redefine Amazon’s presence on the global stage. If you thrive at the intersection of strategy, finance, and execution—and want to directly shape how a business scales a portfolio delivering outsized customer and business value—this role is for you.
As Principal Finance Manager, you will operate independently and cross-functionally to drive financial strategy and deliver results in a fast-moving, start-up environment.

You must be strategic in vision, rigorous in analysis, and proven in managing competing priorities while influencing decisions through compelling financial narratives, data-driven recommendations, and creative alternatives. This role requires regular engagement with senior business and finance leaders across Amazon.
