Finance Manager, AWS Analytics Services
for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation link, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines. Remove application instructions. Remove "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Learn more about our benefits at ..."? That's maybe okay but it's a link; but it's part of benefits description. Might keep but it's not boilerplate? It's a link to benefits page; could be considered part of benefits. Probably keep.
We need to include salary range: "USA, WA, Seattle - 95,400.00 - 163,200.00 USD annually". Also mention sign-on payments and RSUs. Also mention base salary range.
We need to include benefits list: health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, parental leave.
We need to include responsibilities list: Controllership & Reporting, Strategic Finance Leadership, Financial Planning & Analysis, Process Improvement, Mentorship. Each with details.
We need to include basic qualifications list: 5+ years of tax, finance or a related analytical field experience; 5+ years of creating process improvements with automation and analysis 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; 5+ years of dissecting financial data and identifying patterns that support business strategy experience; 5+ years of leading cross-functional initiatives that drive financial performance and strategy experience.
Preferred qualifications list: 6+ years of identifying incomplete or inaccurate data, identifying the root cause and creating/implementing an escalation plan experience; 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; MBA, or CPA; 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); Experience delivering forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis, and data interpretation of results; Knowledge of SQL/ETL; 6+ years of participating in continuous improvement projects in your team to scale and improve controllership with measurable results experience.
We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraphs), Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe combine tools?), Benefits, Pay.
But we must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has content.
We'll produce:
About the role
... description paragraphs ...
Responsibilities
- Controllership & Reporting: Manage financial reporting, track KPIs, and perform variance analysis across planning, forecasting, and reporting cycles.
- Strategic Finance Leadership: Set and track critical business goals that are key inputs to pricing decisions across Redshift service. Contribute to driving improved AWS free cash flows.
- Financial Planning & Analysis: Build complex financial models and analytical tools to set and track overall financial performance against goals. Lead OP and R&O planning, and weekly/monthly utilization reviews with AWS senior leadership.
- Process Improvement: Be a thought leader to improve and simplify processes, drive standardization, and build scalable solutions to support business growth.
- Mentorship: Coach and train Senior Financial Analysts on the team to operate independently in complex, fast-paced, and ambiguous environment.
Requirements
- 5+ years of tax, finance or a related analytical field experience
- 5+ years of creating process improvements with automation and analysis 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
- 5+ years of dissecting financial data and identifying patterns that support business strategy experience
- 5+ years of leading cross-functional initiatives that drive financial performance and strategy experience
Qualifications
- 6+ years of identifying incomplete or inaccurate data, identifying the root cause and creating/implementing an escalation plan experience
- 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
- MBA, or CPA
- 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)
- Experience delivering forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis, and data interpretation of results
- Knowledge of SQL/ETL
- 6+ years of participating in continuous improvement projects in your team to scale and improve controllership with measurable results experience
Skills
Maybe we can combine tools? But we already listed tools in qualifications. Could create Skills section for tools: SQL, MS Access, Essbase, Cognos, Oracle, SAP, Lawson, JD Edwards, SQL/ETL. But that duplicates. Better to not create Skills if it's redundant. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could omit Skills section and keep qualifications covering skills. However we need to include Skills only if posting has real specific content for it. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we could infer skills from qualifications. But we should not invent a section if not explicitly present. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we should not create a Skills section unless the posting explicitly mentions skills. It does mention experience with tools etc. That's more qualifications. So we can skip Skills.
Benefits: we have benefits list.
Pay: we have salary range and sign-on payments/RSUs.
Schedule: none, so omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Now we need to write About the role paragraph(s). The description includes: "Are you looking for that next big Finance opportunity? Want to directly influence the future of some of the most successful products in cloud services? Join us at AWS Finance! AWS Service Finance is looking for a Finance Manager to support the Analytics Services business. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of enterprise, government and start-up business and organizations in over 190 countries around the world. Launched in 2006, Amazon Web Services officially began offering developer customers access to web services – now widely known as cloud computing – based on Amazon’s own back-end technology platform. AWS Analytics Finance seeks a world class Finance Manager for the Redshift business. This position will serve as a strategic leader who work closely with senior leadership to drive thoughtful analysis and controllership for the Redshift service."
We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll combine into a paragraph or multiple paragraphs. Use for prose.
We should remove boilerplate like "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove accommodation link, etc. Also remove "Learn more about our benefits at https://amazon.jobs/en/benefits." That's maybe part of benefits but it's a link; we could keep as part of benefits paragraph. But it's not boilerplate; it's a reference. Might keep.
We also need to remove "Company - Amazon.com Services LLC Job ID: A10557981". That's minor metadata; we can drop it or fold into short p. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could drop it.
Thus final HTML fragment:
