This position supports the launch and expansion of Amazon Leo by contributing to strategic initiatives that help grow and scale the business. You will support controllership and scalability as you partner with global stakeholders — including business product managers, financial technology teams, accounting operations, business finance, tax, treasury, and others — to deliver highly scalable, secure, and flexible financial solutions. You operate effectively in a fast-paced, global, results-oriented environment. Strong oral and written communication skills are essential, along with the ability to think clearly, analyze quantitatively, problem-solve, scope business requirements, and prioritize.

• Analyze and recommend: Gather data, analyze results, and provide feedback on priorities, timelines, and outcomes to support business process decisions and scale financial recordkeeping health.
• Communicate program status: Prepare clear updates and recommendations for stakeholders, translating complex information into actionable summaries for peers and leadership.
• Build relationships: Collaborate with business, product, accounting, technology, and finance owners globally to support scalable financial automation with the highest degree of controllership.
• Identify risks proactively: Surface potential issues early, propose mitigation options, and escalate appropriately to set the team up for success.
