Are you ready to get in on the ground floor of Amazon’s long-term initiative to design, launch and maintain a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites to provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved communities around the world?
It’s Day 1 for Amazon’s next billion dollar business and we are looking for an entrepreneurial minded Finance Manager to work in a start-up environment who is passionate about technology, manufacturing and FP&A, who thinks/acts globally, and has the ability to create and implement solutions, processes and controls.
We are seeking a Finance Manager to serve as the strategic finance partner to Amazon Leo's Quality Assurance organization and Manufacturing Analytics & Reporting. This role owns the end-to-end financial management of the QA organization — spanning source inspections, inbound quality, manufacturing quality operations, Payload Processing Facility (PPF) quality, and equipment calibration — while simultaneously developing the analytics frameworks and reporting tools that provide financial visibility across satellite production operations.
This is a high-impact role that directly influences how leadership understands satellite production economics. You will develop and publish Total Cost Per Unit (TCPU) metrics, build KPI dashboards from SAP/MES data, own production reporting, and drive the financial planning for a QA organization managing a large workforce with significant OpEx budgets.
Key job responsibilities
Own the annual operating plan (OP1/OP2), quarterly forecasts, and monthly close processes for the QA organization
Develop and maintain headcount models for both full-time and contingent workforce, partnering with QA leadership to assess staffing needs against production volume and quality metrics
Build financial frameworks to analyze workforce utilization vs. inspection workload and create tracking mechanisms to monitor actual vs. forecasted spend
Leverage Amazon's AI tools to develop intelligent analytical dashboards, automate anomaly detection, generate predictive insights on cost trends and material scrap, and accelerate reporting cycles across manufacturing and quality operations
Simplify complex data sets into concise performance indicators that provide meaningful, actionable data to end users
Develop and maintain a comprehensive Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) framework quantifying the total financial impact of quality failures across the production lifecycle
Build financial models linking scrap rates and yield loss to TCPU impact, enabling leadership to prioritize root cause corrective actions with the highest cost-avoidance potential
