Senior Financial Analyst, UK Customer Fulfilment

Job Category: Finance and Business
Job Type: Full Time
Job Location: England
Company Name: Amazon

Company Overview

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth’s most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind.
Description

As a Senior Finance Analyst, you’ll give us the visibility we need to drive Amazon forward. Finance teams are a constant adviser to the business. When our finances and programme performance are optimised, we can keep delivering an excellent experience for our customers and find new ways to support them. This role gives you the opportunity to see how we make business decisions as you gather all the insights that we need to shape our future.

Key job responsibilities

  • Use a range of metrics and models to forecast, link operational objectives to financials, and determine opportunities for improvement
  • Explore data to ensure reporting accuracy, and share financial analysis with business partners to support strategic business decisions
  • Produce a financial and operational plan to support business priorities, and lead on associated projects
  • Support with training new team members and contribute to onboarding plans
  • Maintain and build tools for your team to support knowledge sharing and help to standardise processes across EU teams

A day in the life

As a Senior Finance Analyst, you’ll play a core role in a number of projects at any one time. By tracking performance metrics, analysing data and building financial models, you’ll identify where we can drive better efficiency and productivity. You’ll also show us how different scenarios impact our business from a financial perspective, which is vital for many of our stakeholders to make business decisions.

This role will allow you to work independently, whilst also working closely with our partners to provide the insights they need. You’ll be predominantly based in one of our corporate offices with some travel to site required.
