Finance Manager - Manufacturing, Amazon Leo

About the role

Join Amazon’s long-term initiative to design, launch, and maintain a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites, providing low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved communities globally. This is a ground-floor opportunity in a next-billion-dollar business, seeking an entrepreneurial Finance Manager to partner with the Quality Assurance (QA) organization and Manufacturing Analytics & Reporting in a start-up environment.

This role owns end-to-end financial management for the QA organization—covering source inspections, inbound quality, manufacturing quality operations, Payload Processing Facility (PPF) quality, and equipment calibration—while developing analytics frameworks and reporting tools for financial visibility across satellite production. You will directly influence leadership’s understanding of satellite production economics by developing Total Cost Per Unit (TCPU) metrics, building KPI dashboards from SAP/MES data, and driving financial planning for a large QA workforce with significant OpEx budgets.

Responsibilities

• Own the annual operating plan (OP1/OP2), quarterly forecasts, and monthly close processes for the QA organization.
• Develop and maintain headcount models for full-time and contingent workforce, partnering with QA leadership to assess staffing needs against production volume and quality metrics.
• Build financial frameworks to analyze workforce utilization vs. inspection workload and create tracking mechanisms to monitor actual vs. forecasted spend.
• Leverage Amazon’s AI tools to develop intelligent analytical dashboards, automate anomaly detection, generate predictive insights on cost trends and material scrap, and accelerate reporting cycles.
• Simplify complex data sets into concise performance indicators that provide actionable insights to end users.
• Develop and maintain a comprehensive Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) framework quantifying the financial impact of quality failures across the production lifecycle.
• Build financial models linking scrap rates and yield loss to TCPU impact, enabling leadership to prioritize root-cause corrective actions with the highest cost-avoidance potential.
• Serve as a trusted financial advisor to senior managers and cross-functional partners, providing insights during Weekly Business Reviews (WBR), Monthly Business Reviews (MBR), and executive operating reviews.
