Amazon • Bellevue, WA

About The Position

Are you ready to get in on the ground floor of Amazon's long-term initiative to
design, launch and maintain a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites to
provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and
underserved communities around the world? Join our Finance team and own the
financial foundation for one of Amazon's largest investments.

As a Finance Manager, you'll serve as the financial controller for Leo's
customer terminal supply chain costs, ensuring accurate cost tracking,
forecasting, and financial reporting across first mile, middle mile, last mile,
and reverse logistics. Ahead of each country launch, your focus will be on
building that foundation, establishing the financial processes and mechanisms
needed to move customer terminals from contract manufacturers to end customers
across Leo's global fulfillment operations. Beyond the build, you'll partner
with business teams to drive strategic decisions on how to optimize fulfillment
speed, cost efficiency, and customer experience while balancing accounting and
tax constraints. If you thrive on building from the ground up, navigating
ambiguity, and driving financial rigor in a fast-moving launch environment, this
role offers the rare opportunity to shape the financial infrastructure of a
global program from day one.

Your day might start by connecting with other Finance teams in Amazon to
understand how they currently capture costs for a specific logistics activity
and work through whether Leo should onboard to that same process or build
something new. From there, you'll review transportation cost actuals across
Leo's fulfillment arcs, digging into variances and flagging anything that needs
attention before month-end close. You'll then join a meeting with a business
partner who needs your help modeling the financial impact of different warranty
offerings to customers, translating complex trade-offs into a clear
recommendation. Later, you might join a user acceptance testing review to
validate that financial processes are working as expected in the system, or meet
with Transfer Pricing to walk through forecast inputs and discuss materiality
thresholds for intercompany transactions. No two days look exactly the same, but
all are filled with plenty of opportunities to make a lasting impact on a
program that is just getting started.

The Leo Finance team is building the financial infrastructure for one of
Amazon's most ambitious programs. In this role, you'll be the Finance lead for
Leo's customer terminal fulfillment operations, serving as the primary Finance
partner for the Leo Inventory and Fulfillment Technology (LIFT) team and working
closely with Devices Finance, Ops Finance, Accounting, and Tax to ensure Leo's
supply chain is financially ready to scale globally.
