About The Position

Amazon Ads is the earth's most customer-centric advertising business—and the
Brand Innovation Lab (BIL) is where its most ambitious creative bets come to
life. BIL conceptualizes and executes bespoke advertising experiences across the
full Amazon publisher landscape, turning brands' boldest ideas into
award-winning campaigns that deliver measurable business results and reshape the
perception of Amazon Ads globally.

The Finance Manager is a critical contributor to this mission. This role
operates at the intersection of strategy, financials, and execution—navigating
ambiguity with sharp judgment to assess trade-offs across advertiser needs,
business priorities, and financial objectives. You'll drive decisions through
rigorous analysis, compelling narratives, and cross-functional influence while
enabling a world-class creative organization to scale with precision.

If you're a future CFO who thrives in a startup-like environment, influences
without authority, and wants your analytical work to directly shape how a
high-growth business invests in its future, this role is for you.
