Finance Manager, Amazon Leo, Amazon Leo

Amazon Leo is seeking an experienced Finance Manager to join our Global Long-Range Planning (LRP) & Strategy team. This role will shape the financial strategy behind one of Amazon's most ambitious and capital-intensive investments – a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites designed to provide fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities worldwide.

As a key member of the LRP team, you'll own the 10-year financial roadmap that guides long-term capital prioritization and global expansion. You'll consolidate inputs from 150+ country-level P&Ls across multiple business segments, coordinate across 50+ global stakeholders, and produce planning outputs that directly inform executive decisions on satellite design, market entry sequencing, and multi-billion-dollar capital allocation. Your materials will cascade to Amazon's most senior leadership – including C-suite, Board of Directors, and S-Team.

This is not a typical FP&A role. You will operate at the intersection of finance, engineering, and technology in a Day 1 startup environment within Amazon, with full ownership of planning methodology, financial governance, and executive-level deliverables.

Key job responsibilities
- Own Leo's 10-year global P&L consolidation – design and maintain the architecture across 150+ country, regional, and segment P&Ls; validate and synthesize inputs each cycle into outputs that inform leadership decisions
- Lead the OP planning cycle end-to-end – coordinate across 50+ global stakeholders; design the operating model, timeline, and quality checkpoints
- Build scenario models and NPV/IRR frameworks quantifying long-term financial impact of strategic decisions on satellite design, market entry, and capital allocation
- Own the enterprise planning infrastructure roadmap – partner with FinTech to extend Leo's automated planning tools and integrate LRP with short-range systems
- Architect the reconciliation between FP&A and LRP – segment mapping, FCF methodology alignment, and expense classification conventions
- Design and govern fixed cost allocation methodology – regionalized CPH rates, gateway expense allocations, and controllable country-level profitability
- Serve as approval authority for BizOps Non-HC OpEx purchase orders and month-end close reconciliation, including accrual management and variance analysis
- Own headcount approval and budget governance – approve HC requests against plan and track plan-to-actual variances
- Synthesize complex financial outputs into executive narratives for C-suite audiences
- Drive process automation – build mechanisms that reduce manual effort and enable the team to scale

A day in the life
You start your morning reviewing overnight country-level P&L submissions from global stakeholders – validating assumptions and resolving discrepancies before consolidation deadlines. Mid-morning, you're prioritizing automation features with the FinTech team. After lunch, you're building a scenario analysis quantifying the 10-year impact of a proposed launch cadence change for senior leadership. In the afternoon, you approve operating expense purchase orders, review headcount variances, and close out month-end accruals. You end the day aligning with international partners on cost allocation methodology updates.

About the team
You'll join the Global Long-Range Planning & Strategy team within Leo BizOps Finance. We own the 10-year financial roadmap, OP cycle execution, cost allocation methodology, and financial governance behind Amazon's largest capital investment decisions. We operate with startup speed while delivering at the precision Amazon's most senior executives expect. Our automated systems reduced manual P&L consolidation by 90%+, enabling a small team to absorb growing complexity. We value intellectual curiosity, ownership, and building scalable mechanisms over one-off solutions.
