Senior Accountant, Accounting
Amazon is a fast-paced, dynamic, high-tech company founded in Seattle. Amazon’s finance team is searching for financial accounting professionals who consistently exceed expectations, who thrive in a challenging workplace, and who can actively contribute to our talented team. The global accounting organization supports our financial reporting, internal control, intercompany, and transfer pricing activities as well as supports new business launches globally for Amazon in the consumer products, digital initiatives, merchant, operations, logistics, payments, and cloud computing lines of business.

Additionally, we strongly encourage rotation within the Accounting department and the company as a whole; we aim to hire people who will raise the bar, not just in their first position, but over their career at Amazon. Given the size and growth of the Accounting department and rotation to other Amazon departments, we are always looking for strong candidates to fill new positions and back-fill existing ones.

Key job responsibilities
We are currently looking for candidates who are at the senior accountant level. Successful candidates for this position will have the equivalent of 3+ years of professional experience with financial reporting and internal control related responsibilities. Many of our candidates for this position will also have held similar positions in larger public companies or who have held a senior auditor level position with a Big 4 public accounting firm serving Fortune 500 clients for 3 or more years.

This position will have responsibility for:
• Supporting various aspects of our accounting and reporting process.
• Understanding accounting and financial principles and how to apply them.
• Understand internal control design concepts sufficient to assess the effectiveness of controls in their area and to design new processes and controls for emerging and growing business activities.
• Execute judgments to keep projects moving and ensure the right decisions are reached to close the books each month.
• Strong sense of ownership.
• Analysis of complex processes and systems data.
