Amazon is seeking a Senior Program Manager to join the Finance team. This is an exciting and challenging role, and will give the right person a chance to be part of a company and a team making history. Large multi-nationals are facing a period of unprecedented tax reform. This reform will have a significant impact to all business units competing in the global market. Our program management team leads the charge and partners with teams across Amazon to plan, coordinate, and implement mission critical projects resulting from operating a global business in a time of unprecedented change.

We are looking for a Senior PM to join this amazing team. Successful candidates will have deep experience in at least two of the following three disciplines – Finance, Program Management and Technology – and can become well versed in all three in order to bridge across our diverse group of stakeholders. The candidate needs to be able to easily understand the business line, technical and finance/accounting/tax disciplines, and the impacts of each on the project. They also need to be able to support communications in these areas with current process owners and project stakeholders.

Successful candidates will have demonstrated an exceptional bias for action and comfort driving forward despite ambiguity. A typical project in our portfolio takes over 2 years to deliver, requires work across more than 15 functional teams and requires modification to more than 25 systems. As such, the candidate will often be required to dive deep to remove roadblocks, and carefully manage scope to deliver results on large scale and complex projects while still earning trust across many functions and stakeholders with executive level visibility and sponsorship.

We open to hiring across Barcelona , London and Manchester.
