Description

Be a leader for Amazon's biggest sales events of the year! Amazon seeks a Finance Manager to drive strategic thinking and business partnership for top sales events such as Prime Day, Black Friday/Cyber Monday, and seasonal sales events. A successful candidate will be a strategic thinker, highly analytical, comfortable with creating data driven narratives, customer obsessed, and have an eagerness to learn about cross functional sales events and their execution. They must be comfortable contributing to plans presented to senior leadership (SVP level) as well as having a high bar for data fidelity.

This role will partner with North America Stores Retail and WW Events teams to support the key finance activities surrounding our highest visibility deal events (Prime Day, Prime Big Deal Days, and Black Friday/Cyber Monday), including forecasting, strategic planning/goal setting, intra-event reporting, retrospective reporting and ad hoc analysis. This role will coordinate with numerous stakeholders across WW Retail Stores as the central driving contact for US deals. This role will also partner with US Prime and Marketing Tech team (UPMT) to establish Amazon’s seasonal events strategy and criteria for success (e.g. Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Back to School/Off to College, Holiday). This role requires an uncanny ability to work across stakeholder groups and evaluate tradeoffs between business/marketing focused requirements and technical limitations and priorities.

Key job responsibilities

- Perform market research using internal and external data sources and synthesize complex and nuanced data into key actionable takeaways for senior leadership and partner business teams.

A day in the life

Leading up to a sales event, you work cross-functionally with Retail and Marketing teams to establish forecasts and targets that define event success by using internal and external data along with expert judgment. During events, you provide real-time reporting on event progress and key metrics that allow stakeholders to understand what's working and what changes should be made. After an event has concluded, you gather details and report on metrics that help the teams to understand what worked well and what opportunities for improvement exist for future events.
