About the Role
Amazon's International Grocery Operations Finance team is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to join the Under-The-Roof (UTR) Finance function. This high-visibility, high-impact role sits at the intersection of financial planning, operational analytics, and reporting automation. You will serve as the FP&A and Automation Lead for the INTL UTR organisation, owning financial reporting and planning across a significant annual cost base spanning multiple sites across four countries. Acting as the primary Finance interface with Business Intelligence and Engineering teams, you will drive automation and dashboard delivery. You will collaborate across Operations, Accounting, Supply Chain, S&OP, and BI, influencing outcomes without formal authority and communicating directly with VP and Director-level stakeholders worldwide.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning variable cost (VCPU) reporting and planning across four international markets, including weekly operational decks, monthly leadership communications, and planning cycle inputs (OP1/OP2, Quarterly Guidance)
- Leading INTL UTR automation and BI initiatives as the primary Finance interface with the FIRE (Finance Intelligence & Reporting Engineering) team
- Representing UTR in worldwide prioritisation forums and driving delivery of reporting tools and dashboards
- Owning Cost Per Hour (CPH) wage planning across all international planning cycles, consolidating inputs from labour agencies, PxT, and Operations
- Leading UTR Finance consolidation by integrating variable cost productivity, freight-in, fixed cost, and wages into the integrated UTR view underpinning all VP/Director-level reporting
- Driving month-end close controllership including accrual management, cost booking, reconciliation across Accounting and PxT, and audit trail ownership across four countries
- Building and maintaining executive dashboards and scorecards, including the INTL Rating Balanced Scorecard consolidating performance metrics across variable cost, productivity, fixed cost, volume, quality, and safety
- Partnering with Supply Chain, Operations, and S&OP teams to identify and quantify cost reduction opportunities across transportation and fulfilment
- Challenging assumptions by proactively surfacing risks, questioning line-item spend, and pushing back on requests with poor ROI or unrealistic timelines
- Contributing to worldwide standardisation by developing scalable reporting frameworks and automation solutions that extend beyond the international remit
This role rewards individuals who are equally comfortable working with spreadsheets and engaging in stakeholder meetings, and who view reporting infrastructure as a strategic asset rather than an administrative task.
Experience
- Experience delivering results for large, cross-functional initiatives or projects, or experience in multiple finance and accounting roles
- Experience working with large-scale data mining and reporting tools such as SQL, MS Power Query, Python, or advanced Excel skills including macros, index, conditional lists, arrays, pivots, and lookups
- Experience with financial analysis and modeling
About you
- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot and identify root causes
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic organisation
- Skilled at developing customer relationships and influencing key decision-makers
- Proactive and self-motivated, able to identify gaps and deliver solutions without waiting for direction
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree or Master's degree, preferably in Finance, Economics, Statistics, Business, or a related field
