Description

Are you passionate about solving complex challenges in a high-growth environment? Join our Launch Finance team, where you'll play a crucial role in supporting Amazon's expanding fulfillment center network.

Launch Finance is a strategic team driving financial planning and analysis for new Amazon Fulfillment Center launches. We partner closely with Finance, Operations, Real Estate, and Engineering teams to ensure successful site go-lives while optimizing costs and delivering year-over-year improvements. Our team provides critical oversight and governance for launch decisions, combining analytical excellence with strategic thinking to support Amazon's rapid network growth. Through deep understanding of launch challenges and efficiencies, we develop innovative solutions and drive continuous process improvement across the fulfillment network.

As Finance Manager, you'll lead end-to-end financial planning and analysis for new Fulfillment Center launches, managing 27-35 week engagement cycles per site. You'll develop cost optimization strategies, drive standardization in financial reporting, and provide critical oversight of launch decisions. The role requires strong partnership with Director-level stakeholders across Finance, Operations, and Engineering teams to ensure successful site go-lives.

Success in this role means driving strategic decision-making through data-driven insights and innovative solutions, while demonstrating strong influence and partnership across all organizational levels. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, managing complex, high-impact projects and leading cost optimization initiatives using advanced analytics. This position requires someone who can combine analytical excellence with creative problem-solving to deliver measurable results—a motivated self-starter who balances strategic thinking with tactical execution while embodying Amazon's culture of innovation and ownership.

This role offers significant growth potential, partnering directly with Director-level stakeholders and cross-functional teams to drive successful facility launches. Career advancement opportunities include program leadership and management of local, regional, or global teams across multiple business units.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end variable FP&A for launch operations across NA/EC regions

• Develop financial models and analytics to drive operational improvements

• Manage weekly/monthly financial reviews and forecasting

• Partner with cross-functional teams to optimize launch processes

• Build and maintain strategic partnerships across all organizational levels

A day in the life

Your primary focus is guiding new facilities through their financial launch journey. On any given day, you'll dive into cost planning, crunch numbers for staffing needs, and ensure systems are ready for launch. You might start with a morning huddle discussing launch progress, then jump into analyzing labor costs or reviewing financial approvals.

The role can get exciting during multiple simultaneous launches - you'll need to switch gears quickly between different sites and phases. Sometimes you'll tackle unexpected challenges, like helping sites troubleshoot their planning tools or providing quick financial insights for urgent decisions.

Think of yourself as the financial compass for new site launches!
