Senior Financial Analyst, FinOps - AR CDO - VAR

Description

The Global Accounts Receivable (GAR) team is seeking a passionate and detail-oriented Financial Analyst with treasury expertise to help achieve our vision of providing a world-class Order-to-Cash (O2C) experience to our internal and external customers, in support of Amazon's journey to become Earth's most customer-centric company. This role serves as the process-level controller for financial compliance obligations tied to banking and accounts receivable operations, ensuring all activities adhere to applicable local, state, federal, and international regulatory requirements — including ownership of financial system access governance across Amazon's AR platforms.

This individual will serve as the primary point of contact for all bank relationships, playing a critical part in Amazon's O2C ecosystem. The ideal candidate brings deep knowledge of bank file management, bank account controllership, the onboarding and migration of banking infrastructure across Amazon's global business channels, and the governance of user access across AR financial systems — including Oracle Financials (OFA), CART, Amazon AR, and bank portals. This role requires the ability to enforce access control policies in alignment with the principle of least privilege and SOX requirements, monitor and respond to regulatory changes, and partner with Legal, Tax, IT Security, and GRC teams to ensure Amazon's banking, receivables, and financial system practices remain fully compliant with evolving regulatory requirements across all applicable jurisdictions.

This individual must be strategic yet hands-on — capable of rolling up their sleeves, working independently, and demonstrating an extremely high level of ownership. They will seek opportunities to reduce risk to the business by minimizing manual processes, eliminating waste, and driving scalability and self-service across banking and financial system operations. Leveraging treasury expertise and a strong understanding of control environments, this individual will collaborate with technology and finance teams to implement emerging solutions that strengthen internal controls while improving operational efficiency.
