Sr. Finance Manager, Amazon Leo Finance

About the role

Amazon Leo is building the world's most advanced low Earth orbit satellite network, delivering fast, affordable broadband to enterprise and consumer customers globally. This is one of the most ambitious infrastructure programs in Amazon's history — combining satellite manufacturing, silicon development, global supply chain, terrestrial infrastructure, and enterprise technology at unprecedented scale. Leo Infrastructure Finance is at the center of it all. The successful candidate will have effective analytical and communication skills, with an ability to build and articulate financial results and analytical insights to executive level business and finance leaders. You will be entrepreneurial by nature as Leo has a start‑up mentality, analytical in approach, have a demonstrated ability to develop financial models that provide intelligence for business decisions and be able to leverage your project management skills to lead simultaneous workstreams. This role requires a self‑starter with superb business partnering skills, a keen attention to detail, ability to work in a fast‑paced environment with a high degree of ambiguity, and a track record of deep financial analysis. The candidate must have the aptitude to incorporate new approaches and methodologies (including statistical concepts) while dealing with big data, be able to develop and define key business questions and to build data sets that answer those questions. This role leads the financial architecture, cost accounting, and controllership functions for Amazon Leo's satellite manufacturing operations. The Senior Finance Manager serves as the principal finance partner to manufacturing site leadership, building financial processes, systems, and governance structures in a complex, multi‑site production environment. This is an opportunity to build rather than inherit—designing the controllership framework that will scale with production ramp and site expansion.
