About this role
Description
Are you ready to get in on the ground floor of Amazon's long-term initiative to design, launch and maintain a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites to provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world? It's Day 1 for Amazon's next billion dollar business and we are looking for an analytically-minded Senior Financial Analyst to work in a start-up environment who is passionate about technology, who thinks/acts globally, who thrives in ambiguous and fast-paced environments, and who has the ability to develop solutions to business questions.

- Build and maintain reusable revenue and cost models, tools, and templates that scale repeatable analysis across countries and business lines
- Coordinate financial calendar deliverables (e.g., OP1/OP2, QBR inputs) and build performance metrics, surfacing key call-outs and drivers for finance and business-partner reviews
- Perform month-end-close activities — variance analysis, accrual creation, and documentation for recurring finance reviews — proactively diving deep to ensure reporting accuracy and resolve data discrepancies
- Independently deliver projects with limited oversight to improve controllership, scale processes, or add value, documenting SOPs to share knowledge across the team
Basic Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications
- MBA, or CPA
