This role supports the Amazon Third Party Marketplace organization. The Amazon Marketplace lists items on the Amazon website for Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), Merchant Fulfillment Network (MFN), and Multi-Channel Fulfillment.

This means high visibility with leadership in the business and accounting on the continued velocity of solving unique problems that mostly stem from Amazon’s constantly changing environment and upgrading historical systems that were not originally intended to handle such complex use cases/businesses.

This position supports and can directly influence the launches of some of Amazon’s newest global business initiatives. This leader will work closely with the global financial systems team, accounting operations teams, tax, treasury, and others and represent the accounting organization to various stakeholders. In this role, the candidate will be part of a team that collaborates with business finance and technical teams to deliver world class solutions that are highly scalable, secure, and flexible. This person will have operated successfully in a fast-paced, global, results-oriented environment.
