Amazon seeks a highly effective Senior Finance Analyst to be a key member on the Alexa Advertising Finance team. Alexa Advertising’s mission is to bring disproportionate value to customers – end-users, publishers and advertisers - through ad-supported experiences. We unlock premium content and experiences from both Amazon and 3P developers through ad products that are seamless and natural for customers to use when interacting with the brands, products and services they choose. We lean into the advantages of Alexa as a smart instantly available assistant by creating advertising experiences and products that other environments cannot match, including contextual awareness, targeting and multi-turn interactivity. We increase customer’s trust in Alexa by being transparent about our ad policies and building privacy-forward ad controls that build on Alexa’s data policies and capabilities. The successful candidate will have shown experience in past roles influencing business owners and supporting decision making in rapidly evolving environments. This role requires a self-starter who is comfortable working in an ambiguous environment with strong data gathering and modeling skills.
