Description
Join the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Finance team and help shape how AWS partners scale the business. We are looking for an analytical, execution-oriented Senior Financial Analyst to support core Partner GTM programs and incentives, with direct exposure to resell motions and a $1B+ investment portfolio. This role sits at the intersection of finance, sales strategy, and partner operations, and plays a critical role in ensuring disciplined execution, strong financial governance, and clear leadership decision-making.
In this role, you will partner closely with the AWS Specialists and Partners organization to own program-level financial support, including OP2 planning, monthly R&O, in-year reforecasting, and leadership reporting. You will evaluate large-scale partner investments, support incentive and resell programs, help consolidate program and project codes in coordination with FP&A and TM1, and contribute to scalable governance mechanisms for strategic partner agreements. The role combines run-the-business execution with meaningful opportunities to influence how AWS invests for growth.
The ideal candidate demonstrates strong business judgment, comfort operating in ambiguity, and the ability to independently own deliverables end to end.

Lead program and project code consolidation in coordination with FP&A and TM1, ensuring clean budget alignment, accurate accruals, and reliable financial reporting.
Dive deep into variances, trends, and material results to identify underlying business drivers and recommend corrective actions or strategic adjustments.
Partner with finance technology and operations teams to automate, standardize, and simplify financial processes, improving scalability, accuracy, and speed of execution.
A day in the life
A typical day includes partnering with the AWS Specialists and Partners organization to review performance of core GTM programs and resell incentives, preparing inputs for monthly R&O and L10 leadership reporting, and maintaining OP2 and in-year reforecast views.

You will collaborate closely with FP&A, TM1, and program owners to ensure clean budget alignment, accurate accruals, and consolidated program structures. The day balances deep analytical work with cross-functional discussions to drive disciplined execution and decision-making.
