Senior Financial Analyst, AWS DC Finance - Zaragoza | Amazon Job

Job Description

Are you passionate about turning data into actionable insights that shape business decisions? Amazon is looking for a Financial Analyst to join our Finance team and play a key role in building financial models, delivering reporting, and partnering with business leaders to drive informed decision-making. In this role, you will work with large datasets to uncover trends, identify opportunities, and provide recommendations that directly influence how we operate and invest. You will collaborate across teams to ensure financial accuracy, improve processes, and contribute to both short-term and long-term planning. If you are curious, analytical, and excited about solving complex problems in a fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities
- Build and maintain financial reports, models, and scorecards that address complex business questions and support data-driven decision-making across the organization.
- Analyze financial and operational data to identify root causes of variances, uncover cost optimization opportunities, and deliver clear recommendations to leadership.
- Audit financial reporting for accuracy and proactively identify and remediate controllership gaps, ensuring adherence to internal controls and compliance standards.
- Partner with cross-functional business teams to support planning processes, month-end close activities, and ongoing forecasting while translating financial insights for non-finance stakeholders.
- Lead improvement projects that automate, scale, or enhance financial processes and tools, and maintain standard operating procedures and documentation to enable knowledge sharing.

A day in the life
Your morning might begin with reviewing the latest financial data and preparing variance analyses ahead of a business review. By midday, you are collaborating with business partners to understand operational drivers and refine forecasts.

Throughout it all, you are sharpening your financial and technical skills while contributing to a team that values accuracy, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
