Leo is Amazon's long-term initiative to design, launch and maintain a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites to provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. We are looking for an entrepreneurial minded Finance Manager to work in a start-up environment who is passionate about technology, is interested in analyzing transformative business opportunities at global scale, who thinks/acts globally, and has the ability to create, implement, and drive solutions to complex business questions.
Amazon Leo seeks a Finance Manager to support the Direct-to-Device (DTD) constellation business. Leo's DTD service will connect billions of devices globally through satellite-based connectivity, partnering with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to deliver ubiquitous coverage where terrestrial networks cannot reach. The successful candidate will be entrepreneurial by nature, a strategic thinker with strong leadership capabilities, analytical in approach, and have a demonstrated ability to develop and own financial models that provide intelligence for multi-billion-dollar investment decisions. This role requires a self-starter with superb business modeling skills, the ability to influence senior leadership, keen attention to detail, and the ability to manage ambiguity in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
Key job responsibilities
Own, design, develop, and maintain long-range financial models to project and evaluate DTD business performance across constellation generations, including revenue forecasting, ARPU modeling, and capacity-driven economics
Perform strategic financial analysis of go-to-market strategies including MNO partnership evaluation, spectrum acquisition economics, pricing strategy, and market entry prioritization
Build and own P&L models for the DTD business, develop business insights and KPI dashboards, and drive ad hoc analyses that inform investment decisions at the VP+ and S-Team level
Develop financial frameworks to evaluate constellation capacity allocation, beam optimization trade-offs, and satellite manufacturing/launch economics as they pertain to DTD service delivery
Partner with Product, Engineering, and Business Development to translate technical assumptions (satellite capacity, spectrum bandwidth, device penetration) into financial impact and business cases
Create and implement revenue and cost models incorporating MNO revenue share structures, spectrum costs, and device ecosystem scaling to be presented in business reviews
Educate and influence business partners on financial and operational trade-offs, exercising sound judgement in highly ambiguous situations with limited or rapidly evolving data
Assist in developing and implementing financial policies, procedures, and internal controls for a nascent and rapidly scaling business
