OVERVIEW: Amazon operates based on four key principles: a focus on customer obsession rather than competing with others, a passion for innovation, a commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are motivated by the excitement of developing new technologies, inventing products, and offering services that positively impact lives. We embrace new approaches, make quick decisions, and aren’t afraid to fail. While we have the scale and resources of a large company, we maintain the agility and spirit of a small one.
Together, Amazonians innovate and develop new technologies, from Amazon Web Services to Alexa, all with our customers in mind—shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers worldwide.
Our mission is to be the most customer-centric company on Earth. Everything we do—our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions—is driven by keeping the customer at the forefront.
At Amazon, we also say it’s always “Day 1.” This means we approach every day with the same mindset as when Amazon first started: making smart, fast decisions, staying agile, innovating, and focusing on delighting our customers. At Amazon, finance is about more than just the numbers. It’s about understanding the data and using it to generate new ideas and solutions. Do you see challenges as opportunities and are you ready to dive deep to create solutions and drive results? Are you willing to challenge the status quo and accept that your ideas and strategies may be tested regularly? At Amazon, we act with purpose and speed, collaborating with a dynamic network of Operations, HR, Tech, and Retail teams. We leverage data and communication to ensure our partners and leaders have the most accurate and timely information to make the best decisions.
