About The Position

Join Amazon's Corporate Financial Planning & Analysis team as a Finance Partner
supporting critical HR operations that serve over 1.6 million employees
globally. You'll provide strategic financial guidance to leadership teams
managing frontline HR support and time management services, translating complex
operational data into insights that drive key business decisions across the
company.

As the dedicated finance partner for MyHR Live Support and Central Time Keeping
organizations, you'll balance strategic planning with hands-on financial
analysis. Your day might include collaborating with operations leaders to
evaluate the financial impact of new workforce management systems, preparing
variance reports that explain monthly financial performance to senior
leadership, or developing business cases for process automation initiatives.
You'll move between detailed cost analysis—diving into vendor spend or contact
center capacity planning—and high-level strategic conversations about how to
optimize the cost structure of critical HR services. Your work directly
influences decisions about technology investments and operational efficiency
across Amazon's global workforce.

We are a strategic finance team embedded within Amazon's People Experience and
Technology organization, serving as trusted financial advisors to senior
leadership. Our team provides the data-driven insights that help shape decisions
impacting all of Amazon's employees. We work collaboratively with HR Operations,
Technology teams, and Workforce Management partners to understand both the
financial and operational implications of our recommendations. We're focused on
supporting the operational backbone that enables Amazon to serve its workforce
effectively, and we're looking for someone who shares our commitment to
combining financial rigor with a deep understanding of HR operations. Joining
our team means becoming part of a group that values clear communication,
analytical depth, and the ability to influence important business decisions.
