What are the responsibilities and job description for the Finance Manager, Prime Video position at Amazon?
DESCRIPTION
We are looking for a finance leader to join the US Prime Video TVOD Business Finance team, an exciting opportunity to use analytical insights to work directly with business leaders to shape Prime Video’s entertainment strategy.
Prime Video offers customers the greatest choice in what to watch including Amazon Original hits like The Boys and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, 3P Channel subscriptions like Paramount and Showtime, live events like Thursday Night Football games, and a large catalog of transactional (rent or buy) content (TVOD) and advertising-supported content (AVOD). The Prime Video team comprises individuals who are all obsessively focused on one mission: to give consumers the world’s best-in-class digital video customer experience. Prime Video delivers an entertainment destination unlike any other—fast, reliable, personal, effortless, and delightful.
This position plays a critical role in Prime Video, as the finance partner for our Transactional Video On Demand (TVOD) business team, i.e. the business specific to purchases and rentals of movies and TV shows through Prime Video. This requires the ability to work cross-functionally and develop new solutions as the business continues to change and grow.
The ideal candidate is someone who is a self-starter that is comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment and on new initiatives that provide inherent ambiguity. They must be comfortable performing detailed, complicated analyses and communicating findings to stakeholders in a clear, efficient manner that highlights the most relevant points to the business’ strategy.
Key job responsibilities
- Manage the financial planning, analysis, and reporting of various performance metrics and identify risks and opportunities in support of the TVOD business teams and finance leadership
- Develop new performance metrics and improve existing processes to drive insight, accountability, and control
- Partner with various stakeholders (including partners from other business and finance teams) to build financial models that evaluate new opportunities and strategic initiatives
- Influence business decisions through effective verbal and written communication, data driven analysis and modeling, and presentation of alternatives

Additionally, this role partners with cross-functional teams, including Product, Marketing, and Content Acquisition, to provide analytical support and financial modeling for strategic initiatives that drive business growth and success.
