About The Position

Are you ready to get in on the ground floor of Amazon's next
multi-billion-dollar business?

It's Day 1 for Amazon's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite initiative, and we are
looking for an entrepreneurial-minded Senior Financial Analyst to work in a
start-up environment who is passionate about technology, thinks and acts
globally, and has the ability to create and implement solutions, processes, and
controls.

As a Senior Financial Analyst supporting LEO's Global Long-Range Planning (LRP)
team, you will play a critical role in translating LEO's strategic investment
roadmap into financial insights that guide executive decision-making. You will
support the development and maintenance of LEO's consolidated 10-year global
financial plan—a roadmap that consolidates inputs from 150+ country P&Ls and
informs capital prioritization, global expansion strategy, and long-term
partnership and deal evaluations.

You will contribute to initiatives that shape LEO's competitive positioning and
investment strategy: building financial models and analyses that inform
long-range visibility and scenario planning; supporting the financial analysis
behind entry into new businesses and market opportunities; and driving
operational efficiency by partnering on the design and deployment of financial
systems and controls that enable faster, data-driven decision-making across the
organization.

Success in this role requires you to partner with and influence business owners,
support thoughtful decision-making, and adapt to a rapidly-evolving environment.
You will collaborate with all types of stakeholders—from VPs and Directors to
Program/Project Managers and other Finance Managers—across multiple business
units within Amazon. You are comfortable leading analytical projects with high
ambiguity, creating robust processes to track and manage complex financial data,
presenting findings to business leaders, and pivoting between defined financial
rhythms and ad-hoc project analyses. You use judgment to prioritize high-impact
work that maximizes results for key stakeholders while helping solve complex
problems that affect company-wide decisions.

This role demands strong financial modeling capabilities, the ability to
synthesize data from multiple sources, comfort with ambiguity, and a relentless
commitment to simplifying complexity. You will have the opportunity to work on
analyses that inform C-suite decisions and shape LEO's future.
