Job Description
Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company where our customers can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. By giving customers more of what they want - low prices, vast selection, and convenience, Amazon continues to grow and evolve as a world-class e-commerce platform. In supporting this growth, Amazon Finance Operations (FinOps) goal is to deliver seamless procure-to-pay, order-to-cash and payroll processes that enable Amazon's ongoing geographical expansion across the globe. As part of this expansion we now seek a Customer Obsessed, Results Driven Program Manager to join our expanding EMEA FinOps Program Management Office (PMO). We're not an average company and this is definitely not your average Program Management position. You'll have the opportunity to really make a difference in a high growth environment where your ability to drive a portfolio of programs and projects to successful, high quality, on-time launches will be key. This is an exciting, hands-on opportunity to join an area that touches every aspect of Amazon's wide range of businesses globally. Your responsibilities will include: - Delivering large scale projects from initiation through delivery by leading a cross-functional, geographically diverse team. - Understanding the business requirements and then ensuring these can be implemented from a people, process and technology perspective by working with Amazon's technical teams to effectively design, develop, test and launch scalable solutions that address customer needs while meeting our high controllership standards. - Ensuring consistent and efficient execution of projects, adhering to Amazon's governance and project methodology frameworks, to deliver optimal, high-quality, scalable solutions. This includes effective communication of project progression to stakeholders across all levels of the organisation. - Identifying and mitigating potential risks and obstacles by collaborating closely with business partners, key stakeholders and team members. Ensuring Plan B's are always in place. - Continually strengthening FinOps effectiveness with a relentless focus on identifying and delivering continuous improvement opportunities. Who are we looking for? The successful candidate will bring a demonstrated ability to deliver large scale program implementations in fast-paced, deadline driven and virtual environments, ideally involving systems development and integration. Additionally, they will have a proven ability to learn quickly, distil complex scenarios into easily understandable synopses and communicate persuasively, in both written and oral form. Finally, we require someone who can apply structured and analytical thinking to solve problems, while motivating their project teams, through superior influencing and inter-personal skills, to resolve conflicts and deliver results. Amazon highly values diversity and has a number of initiatives in place to facilitate career opportunities and support individual career growth, including flexible working. There is a structured and supportive on-boarding environment to support new starters in getting up to speed quickly.
