DESCRIPTION

Amazon has an immediate opening for a Senior Program Manager to join Seller Services Finance and Business Integration team.
This role supports the Amazon Third Party Marketplace organization. The Amazon Marketplace lists items on the Amazon website for Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), Merchant Fulfillment Network (MFN), and Multi-Channel Fulfillment. These programs provide great opportunities for learning all about Amazon’s consumer world as they span a multitude of areas of tax, accounting and the broader finance community given their cross-border nature that typically involve multiple geographies, dual currencies, and stakeholders from around the globe.
This role also wields the ability to influence the tech teams that have recurring dedicated resources for automation, as you are in direct control of what automation efforts get prioritized, working with stakeholders to constantly keep a pulse on new and existing issues and keeping an up-to-date priority list. This means high visibility with leadership in the business and accounting on the continued velocity of solving unique problems that mostly stem from Amazon’s constantly changing environment and upgrading historical systems that were not originally intended to handle such complex use cases/businesses.
This position supports and can directly influence the launches of some of Amazon’s newest global business initiatives. This leader will work closely with the global financial systems team, accounting operations teams, tax, treasury, and others and represent the accounting organization to various stakeholders. In this role, the candidate will be part of a team that collaborates with business finance and technical teams to deliver world class solutions that are highly scalable, secure, and flexible. This person will have operated successfully in a fast-paced, global, results-oriented environment. Strong oral and written communication skills are crucial, as well as ability to think clearly, analyze quantitatively, problem-solve, scope business requirements and prioritize.
