About The Position

Amazon is a pioneering and dynamic company that thrives on innovation and
customer-centric approaches at a global scale. We take pride in our
single-minded obsession over customer satisfaction and our ability to maintain a
curious and innovative environment no matter how large the company grows. We
endeavor to build our legacy as Earth’s most customer-centric company and to
continue to foster an environment of innovation through our mission to hire the
best. If you are a financial accounting professional who consistently exceeds
expectations, who dares to make bold decisions, and is motivated by challenges,
then Amazon is a place where your career can flourish.

When working at Amazon, your ability to make a difference and take ownership of
your career begins on day one. You can expect a collaborative, team-driven
environment that encourages employees to learn, be curious, and have a bias for
action. Part of this propensity for continuous learning shows itself in Amazon’s
strong encouragement of movement and growth within the Accounting department and
within the company as a whole. We aim to hire and develop those who will raise
the bar over the course of their career at Amazon. Amazon’s accounting group
offers opportunities at the Senior Accountant level in Legal Entity &
Intercompany, Accounting Policy & Reporting, Operations and Capital,
Transportation, Payments & Merchant Services, Retail Operations, Digital, and
AWS Accounting.

This role sits at the intersection of accounting, tax, and technology. You'll be
involved in the monthly close cycle, operationalizing new intercompany
agreements, testing calculations before they go live, supporting internal
controls work, and jumping in on audit requests when needed.

What makes this role interesting is the variety. Some days you're deep in the
numbers; other days you're working across teams. Some months will be smooth;
others will ask you to troubleshoot and make judgment calls under pressure. If
you enjoy solving complex problems and building real expertise in technical
accounting, you'll find a lot to like here.

The Global Transfer Pricing Close and Reporting team is responsible for the
worldwide accounting of Amazon's intercompany transfer pricing transactions —
ensuring charges are accurate, compliant with the arm's length principle, and
booked on time across Amazon's global entity structure.

We are an agile, high-ownership team that moves fast and takes pride in getting
the details right. We partner closely with tax and finance teams across the
business. If you're looking for a place to build deep technical expertise while
working on problems that matter at a global scale, this is it.
