About The Position

Are you an experienced Senior Financial Analyst looking for more scope and responsibility? Have you demonstrated a high standard for controllership and financial modeling/analytics, and seek a role that provides business partner engagement and helps you grow your career? The AWS Training & Certification (T&C) Finance team may be a great fit for you. T&C is a 1,300+ organization that teaches millions of people annually how to better use AWS products and services, from people without a tech background seeking introductory cloud computing instruction to skilled employees at large enterprises that require the high technical proficiency. T&C develops world-class training and certification content for every product AWS offers which we deliver through AWS instructor-led training, our own digital platform, and through third party partners. We make money by selling our own products and by creating downstream revenue, as trained customers use AWS products more than untrained ones. As an Senior Financial Analyst, you will have single-threaded ownership of at least one of our primary businesses supporting a senior business partner. You will be responsible for collaborating with your business partner and their team to drive improvement through ongoing financial support and adhoc projects (illustrative examples: pricing, new product features, long range plans, pilots). You will also have shared responsibility for all finance controllership processes (MEC, MBR, OP/R&O, etc), and collaborate often with the Training & Certification finance team to drive internal improvements. Our finance team has a positive and supporting internal dynamic, we respect work/life balance, and we have a great relationship with the business. We strive to make each role on our team a challenging and rewarding experience, where you can have fun and grow your career at the same time. The preferred candidate is above bar in core finance leadership principles (Dive Deep, IoHS, Ownership), is highly curious, possesses strong analytic and financial modeling skills, and is customer-obsessed about business partnership. This role provides room to operate independently and is designed to bring Senior Financial Analyst talent to its potential. High performers only.
