At Amazon we strive to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our passion for invention leads us to continually pioneer and globalize new businesses and customer offerings. As a result, Amazon continues to grow and evolve across many different business lines from Retail, Digital and Advertising to AWS, Logistics and Healthcare.
Finance Operations (FinOps) supports all business lines, in every geography across Amazon. By paying our Vendors and Suppliers (Procure to Pay), collecting cash (Order to Cash) and paying our employees (Payroll), on time and accurately, and with the best vendor and employee experience, FinOps plays a vital role as Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company.

As Amazon continues to grow so does the demand for our FinOps services. To support this expansion, the Global Business Analysis (GBA) Team is recruiting a Customer Obsessed, analytical and detail oriented Senior Business Analyst (BA) to join our FinOps Program Management Office (PMO). We’re not an average company and this is definitely not your average business analyst position. You’ll have the opportunity to really make a difference in a high growth environment, where you will have the ability to work on complex projects that meet our Business and Customer needs, are delivered to a high controllership standard and are scalable and repeatable into the future. This is an exciting, hands-on opportunity to join an area that touches every aspect of Amazon’s wide range of businesses globally.

The Senior Business Analyst performs detailed requirements analysis from a people, process and technology perspective, with a razor-sharp focus on the customer. You will:

- Lead requirements analysis, validation, verification and approval, ensuring that requirements are complete, consistent, feasible and traceable.

- Translate business and customer requirements, leveraging data analysis tools to provide timely, meaningful and consumable information that drives significant business value.

- Work with Amazon’s technical teams, process owners and subject matter experts to effectively design, develop, test and launch automated, scalable solutions that address customer needs while meeting our high controllership standards.

- Ensure requirements traceability and manage change requirements through effective change control processes and tools.

- Dive deep to evaluate business processes and identify problems and opportunities.

- Partner with operational teams and process owners to problem solve during design, testing and deployment. Ensure efficient transition to operational business as usual.

- Develop optimization and automation strategies of business processes.

- Influence stakeholders to ensure relevant deadlines are met; communicate critical information effectively to stakeholders, including senior leadership, to facilitate rapid decision making and problem solving.

Who are we looking for? - To succeed, you will demonstrate the ability to work independently while dealing with high levels of ambiguity.

- You have a natural analytical way of thinking, diving deep into a problem, product and process and be able to explain difficult concepts to tech and non- tech users.

- Additionally, you will have a proven ability to learn quickly, distil complex scenarios into easily understandable synopses and communicate persuasively, in both written and oral form.
Amazon highly values diversity and has a number of initiatives in place to facilitate career opportunities and support individual career growth, including flexible working. There is a structured and supportive on-boarding environment to support new starters in getting up to speed quickly.

Ready to take on challenges at the leading edge of geopolitics and technology, and shape the future of security? Our team does this every day. We are looking for an adaptable and creative security professional with expertise in some combination of geopolitical risk, intelligence analysis, risk management, and/or policy development and advice to join us.

Experience in cloud computing concepts, the cyber-physical security nexus, or the geopolitics and security dynamics of Sub-Saharan Africa or Europe is a plus for this role. However, demonstration of self-guided learning with practical application in complex issue areas is key to success in this role.

This unique role within the security space combines the functions of strategic intelligence analyst, risk manager, and policy advisor. Our team leads internal efforts to understand, manage, and reduce risk to our cloud and physical infrastructure from the earliest stages of development. You’ll work independently, and with customers and stakeholders on interesting and complex issues to solve problems on a global scale. You’ll provide deep analytic insights on a wide range of issues and develop innovative strategies to secure the cloud, supporting infrastructure, and other assets as AWS expands to new environments. At times your contributions will be behind the scenes; other times they will be high visibility within the company. In all cases your work will have both immediate and longer-term impacts on the security of the cloud and the trust of our customers.

Ideal candidates will have consistently demonstrated the ability to conduct rigorous research and analysis on a variety of geopolitical and security issues; produce written analytic products that effectively support positive security outcomes; and communicate efficiently (both in writing and verbally) on complex topics, risks, and opportunities to mixed audiences (up to senior executive levels).

Though this is a non-technical role, you’ll grow your familiarity and acquire experience in a variety of cloud and related technical knowledge areas. While this is an individual contributor role, you’ll lead projects that cross multiple teams and business functions and will need to draw on various types of management skills. This role requires a collaborative, curious, self-aware individual that will lean in when faced with ambiguity and high judgment situations.
