Finance is all about the numbers…unless you work at Amazon; it’s knowing the
numbers and so much more. Enthusiasm and energy help us deliver new ideas, and
solutions. Do you view problems as treasures, and are you willing to dive deep
to develop those solutions and deliver results? Will you seek to challenge the
status quo, and accept that your ideas and mechanisms may be tested daily? At
Amazon, we move with purpose and speed, and this requires we work with a dynamic
network of Operations, HR, Tech and Retail partners. We help others understand
finance and are the trusted business advisors by employing every facet of data
and communication to ensure our partners and our leaders have the most up to
date and reliable information to help them make the best possible decision. Come
teach us a few things, and we’ll teach you a few things as we navigate the most
customer-centric company on Earth.
It is a perfect position for someone who knows how to lead others, work fast,
and smart. Your experience has taught you how to avoid sticky predicaments, and
you are good about avoiding the mess, sooner rather than later. You know which
details make all the difference, and which ones don’t add value. You know the
difference between spending time wisely and wasting time.
