Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an experienced finance leader to join its North America Sales Finance team. This is an exciting opportunity to become a part of one of the most dynamic and fastest growing organizations at Amazon. The role will work closely with business and finance stakeholders to support a large and complex business within AWS.
