Amazon Looking for Finance Manager, Prime Video Finance at Seattle, WA Full Time

We are looking for an experienced Finance Manager to join the US Prime Video Business Finance team, an exciting opportunity to use analytical insights to work directly with business leaders to shape Prime Video’s entertainment strategy.

Prime Video offers customers the greatest choice in what to watch including Amazon Original hits like Rings of Power, Jack Ryan, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, 3P Channel subscriptions like Max and Paramount+, live events like Thursday Night Football games, and a large catalog of transactional (rent or buy) and advertising-supported content (AVOD). The Prime Video team comprises individuals who are all obsessively focused on one mission: to give consumers the world’s best-in-class digital video customer experience. Prime Video delivers an entertainment destination unlike any other—fast, reliable, personal, effortless, and delightful.

Our team directly supports the Prime Video Business and Product teams to connect the business strategy to financial outputs and analyze information to support and inform our business strategy. With so much content available in one place for our customers to enjoy, we leverage analytics and advise in the strategic decision making to ensure that Prime Video is delivering the best entertainment experience for our customers and optimizing their journey to discover content they will love. You will connect with data to provide key data-driven insights, enable new analyses, and innovate on behalf of our business customers. While analysis will focus on the US market, you will also collaborate with International teams to ensure we leverage insights globally.

The ideal candidate is someone who is a self-starter that is comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment and on new products that provide inherent ambiguity. They must be comfortable gathering data, performing detailed, complicated analysis and communicating findings to stakeholders in a clear, efficient manner that highlights the most relevant points to the business’ strategy. The individual will also play a critical role in influencing leaders in making prudent decisions and evaluating tough trade-offs when faced with resource constraints.
