Finance Manager, IES FP&A, International Emerging FP&A

Description

The International Emerging Stores (IES) Financial Planning & Analysis team is looking for a Finance Manager to join our central FP&A function on the ground in Brazil. IES is one of Amazon's fastest-growing businesses, spanning emerging marketplaces across Latin America, Middle East, Africa, and beyond. This is a dynamic, high-impact role that blends financial analysis, business partnering, and ad hoc project leadership — sitting at the intersection of local market context and central IES FP&A priorities.

The ideal candidate will have experience in consumer/retail finance, with a strong background in financial analysis, reporting, and business partnering. They will be a versatile self-starter — equally comfortable diving deep into financial details and stepping back to manage cross-functional projects. The ideal candidate will bring excellent communication and problem-solving skills and thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, supporting both structured planning cycles and unscripted, high-priority requests from senior leadership.

Key job responsibilities
- Partner with central IES FP&A and local Brazil finance and business teams to support planning cycles, financial reviews, and leadership deliverables
- Lead and execute a variety of ad hoc analytical and project-based workstreams, bringing structure and rigor to ambiguous or fast-moving requests
- Support financial reporting for the Emerging Stores business, including budgeting, forecasting, and performance tracking — ensuring outputs are accurate, timely, and decision-ready
- Serve as a liaison between on-the-ground business context in Brazil and central IES FP&A priorities in Seattle
- Identify opportunities to improve financial processes and analytical frameworks; drive improvements with a bias for scalable, repeatable solutions
