The posting
Amazon Delivery FP&A sits at the center of one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing logistics networks — supporting a delivery operation that reaches hundreds of millions of customers globally. Our finance team partners directly with business leaders to drive the financial strategy behind this growth, and we are looking for a Senior Financial Analyst who is passionate about turning complex data into actionable insights at scale.
In this role, you will own Headcount (HC) and Operating Expense (OpEx) planning across 20+ cost centers, lead Infrastructure Market Rate (IMR) cost benchmarking for Amazon Delivery as the primary Finance point of contact, and drive key annual and mid-year planning cycles including OP1, OP2, and Quarterly Guidance (QXG) adjustments. You will work closely with cross-functional business teams, present financial narratives to senior leadership, and play a critical role in shaping how Amazon Delivery manages its cost structure.
This is a high-visibility role where you will not just report numbers — you will challenge assumptions, identify risks, build scalable financial models, and influence decisions that impact thousands of employees and billions of dollars in spend. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love solving ambiguous problems, and want to work at the intersection of finance, automation, and last-mile operations — this is the role for you.
Key job responsibilities Planning & Modeling
- End-to-End HC & OpEx Planning: Own headcount and operating expense planning across 20+ cost centers covering 3,500+ employees, including building and maintaining HC-driven OpEx models that translate headcount into projected spend across annual planning cycles (OP1/OP2) and quarterly guidance (QXG) adjustments. - QXG Adjustment Cycles: Drive quarterly guidance adjustments including rate card validation, merit and band penetration assumptions, headcount transfers, and scenario modeling across cost centers — ensuring the plan reflects the latest organizational and compensation changes. - Target Allocation & Distribution: Develop and maintain monthly target allocation models — including country-level splits, T&E budgets, and phasing adjustments — and distribute to business finance partners to enable decentralized planning.
Reporting & Close
- Monthly Close & Variance Analysis: Lead monthly close analysis, variance reporting, and MEC (Monthly Expense Close) bridge analysis — reconciling variances between actuals and plan, identifying cost drivers, and delivering detailed narratives and commentary to senior leadership (L10+), enabling corrective action within the month. - Financial Reviews: Own the creation and delivery of Monthly Financial Reviews (MFRs) and Quarterly Financial Reviews (QFRs) — building decks, ensuring accuracy and narrative quality, and leading QFR discussions with senior leadership.
Stakeholder & Cross-Functional
- CHC Finance Partnership: Serve as the primary Finance point of contact for Amazon Delivery in all Compensation & HR Costing (CHC) communications — validating rate cards, challenging assumptions, and ensuring accurate cost inputs flow into the plan on time across all planning cycles.
Tools & Systems
- Headcount & Position Management: Manage headcount positions and cost center movements through Roster, including OpEx-only transfers, position management, and HCTR submissions — maintaining a clean and auditable headcount record across the organization. - Dashboards & Reporting Tools: Build and maintain QuickSight dashboards and financial reporting tools to provide real-time visibility into HC and OpEx performance for senior leadership, reducing reporting lag from days to near real-time. - Data Integrity & Governance: Identify and resolve complex data integrity issues across cost centers and planning systems (e.g., CPH rate corrections, overstatement prevention), ensuring the financial plan remains accurate and defensible.
Automation & Innovation
- Process Automation & AI Adoption: Drive process automation, standardization, and AI adoption within the Finance organization — building scalable tools, reducing manual reporting effort, and facilitating cross-functional knowledge sharing to raise the bar across the team.
A day in the life As a Senior Financial Analyst on the Amazon Delivery FP&A team, no two days look exactly the same — but here's what you can expect:
You'll start your morning reviewing the latest HC and OpEx numbers, checking for data integrity issues across cost centers and validating model outputs before they go to leadership. During Monthly Close (MEC), your day revolves around pulling actuals, running variance analysis, identifying drivers behind cost movements, preparing commentary for senior leadership reviews, and owning MEC Bridging — reconciling variances between actuals and plan, explaining key bridges, and ensuring the numbers tell a complete and accurate story.
You'll own the creation and delivery of Monthly Financial Reviews (MFRs) and Quarterly Financial Reviews (QFRs) — building the decks, ensuring the numbers are accurate and well-narrated, and leading QFR review discussions with senior leadership. These reviews are a critical touchpoint where you translate financial performance into a clear story that drives business decisions.
You'll collaborate closely with business finance partners and cross-functional stakeholders across TTS teams — sharing monthly target allocation files, validating country-level splits, and aligning on T&E budgets. You'll serve as the primary Finance POC for Amazon Delivery in all CHC (Compensation & HR Costing) communications — validating rate cards, challenging assumptions, and ensuring the right cost inputs flow into the plan accurately and on time.
Mid-cycle, you'll be deep in planning work — building or refreshing HC-to-OpEx models for OP1/OP2/Q2G/Q3G/Q4G cycles, running scenario analyses, and working closely with the CHC team to validate and challenge rate card assumptions on behalf of Amazon Delivery. You'll own IMR reporting for Amazon Delivery, tracking fleet-level Infrastructure Market Rate submissions and benefit entitlement, and serving as the primary Finance POC for business teams on IMR-related questions.
You'll attend and moderate Weekly Business Reviews (WBRs) with L10 leadership, presenting financial performance, surfacing risks, and driving discussions on cost levers. You'll manage Roster for headcount changes — processing OpEx transfers, cost center swaps, and position management — and ensure all submissions are processed accurately through HCTR.
Throughout the week, you'll partner with your Finance Manager to prioritize deliverables, align on assumptions, and communicate proactively with stakeholders. You'll also look for opportunities to automate and improve — whether that's building a smarter model, creating a QuickSight dashboard, or eliminating a manual step that costs the team hours every month.
Your internal stakeholders include Finance Managers, senior business leaders, CHC teams, Accounting, and Financial Systems teams. Your customers are the business leaders who rely on your analysis to make resourcing and investment decisions for one of Amazon's most critical operations.
