Finance Manager, AWS Infra Finance

Overview

AWS operates one of the largest infrastructure footprints in the world. Infrastructure Delivery sits at the center of that growth by building and commissioning new capacity at high velocity, with plans that evolve rapidly as signals change. We are hiring a Finance Manager to own the workforce planning and labor-cost forecasting function for Infrastructure Delivery. In this role, you will translate operational signals into a governed, decision-ready outlook, drive transparency through scalable reporting, and help leaders make faster, higher-quality trade-offs.

This position requires strong financial modeling skills, sound judgment, and excellent communication in a highly cross-functional environment.

• Own the end-to-end workforce planning operating mechanism for Infrastructure Delivery, including the single source of truth for headcount and labor cost, input governance and documentation, assumption clarity, and a durable cadence supporting monthly performance reviews, quarterly forecasting, and annual planning.
• Build and continuously improve driver-based models that connect operational signals to headcount and labor-cost outcomes, owning key planning assumptions (e.g., hiring plan, attrition, ramp/productivity, mix, rates) and running sensitivity analyses that surface risks early, highlight trade-offs, and improve forecast accuracy through disciplined forecast-to-actual learnings.
• Deliver executive-ready narratives and framing that clearly explain what changed, why it changed, what is likely to drift next, and what leaders should do about it. Bring options and recommendations, and translate complex dynamics into simple, action-oriented communication for senior audiences.
• Operate as a trusted thought partner to operations leadership by connecting dots quickly across stakeholders, challenging assumptions constructively, aligning teams on a shared plan, and leading open-ended problem solving in ambiguous environments where inputs are imperfect and speed matters.
• Stand up scalable reporting, transparency, and automation that reduces manual reconciliation and increases decision velocity.

• 5+ years of tax, finance or a related analytical field experience.
• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, business, economics, or a related analytical field (e.g., engineering, math, computer science), or Bachelor’s degree and 5+ years of quantitative role (engineering, process re-engineering, quality assurance) experience.
• Experience communicating results to senior leadership.
• Experience in building financial and operational reports/data sets that inform business decision-making.
• 6+ years of solving complex business challenges by delivering accurate and timely financial models, analysis, and recommendations that have a proven impact on business (e.g., financial savings, operational improvements, or customer benefits) experience.
• 6+ years of identifying incomplete or inaccurate data, identifying the root cause and creating/implementing an escalation plan experience.
• Experience delivering forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis, and data interpretation of results.
• Experience working with large-scale data mining and reporting tools (examples: SQL, MS Access, Essbase, Cognos) and other financial systems (examples: Oracle, SAP, Lawson, JD Edwards).
• MBA or CPA.
• Experience participating in continuous improvement projects in your team to scale and improve controllership with measurable results.
