Sr Financial Analyst, AWS Marketing Finance

Amazon • Seattle, WA • 7h ago

Description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketing Finance seeks a Senior Financial Analyst to serve as a finance partner to senior marketing leaders across one of AWS's largest and fastest-growing investment areas. You will sit at the table with Directors and VPs, advising on marketing investment decisions across digital demand generation, events, sports marketing, and product marketing.

You will own the financial narrative for your business partners: translating complex spend data into clear recommendations, challenging assumptions, and driving action that improves how AWS allocates its marketing dollars.

Key job responsibilities

Partner directly with senior marketing leaders (Director/VP level) as their trusted finance advisor, providing data and analysis driven recommendations on investment decisions across your portfolio.

Own monthly financial close, variance analysis, and quarterly forecasting for your business area. Proactively surface risks, opportunities, and recommendations.

Understand and partner with accounting & FP&A to drive an effective month-end close process.

Build and maintain financial models that drive investment decisions: scenario planning, and ROI-informed budget allocation.

Translate financial data into the "so what" - present findings to senior stakeholders in language they can act on.

Build systems and automations that reduce administrative overhead and increase the speed of financial decision-making across the team.

Leverage SQL, Python, and AI tools to work with data at scale - speed and rigor matter equally.

Manage approvals, purchase orders, and budget controllership with accuracy and ownership.

A day in the life

Excel maybe your starting point, but your goal is to drive data-driven decisions through influencing and partnering. Learning about the business is key - you'll spend time understanding what marketing leaders are trying to achieve, then bring financial perspective that sharpens their decisions. A typical week includes advising on spend decisions, preparing investment narratives for senior reviews, challenging forecast assumptions with data, and ensuring financial controllership is tight. You'll work autonomously, flag issues before they become problems, and earn trust by consistently delivering insights that matter. Strong ownership of the P&L, a bias for action, and the ability to influence without authority are critical.

About the team

AWS Marketing Finance partners with CMO-direct leaders to drive ROI-informed investment decisions, financial controllership, and operational excellence across a global marketing organization. Our team values speed, ownership, and the ability to think like a business owner.

Basic Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, business, economics, or a related analytical field (e.g., engineering, math, computer science), or Bachelor's degree and 4+ years of finance or a related analytical field experience

3+ years of tax, finance or a related analytical field experience
