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 and underserved communities around the world? It's Day 1 for Amazon's next billion-dollar business and we are looking for an entrepreneurial minded Principal Finance Manager to work in a start-up environment who is passionate about technology, who thinks and acts globally, who thrives in highly ambiguous environments and fast-paced settings, and who has the ability to independently create and implement solutions to complex business questions.

The candidate must have the aptitude to incorporate new approaches and methodologies (including statistical concepts) while dealing with big data and be able to develop and define key business questions and to build data sets that answer those questions. The candidate must operate with full autonomy, make high judgment decisions independently and quickly, and be comfortable challenging business partners and senior leaders even when it's uncomfortable. The ideal candidate will set strategic vision in undefined environments, bring clarity to complexity, and influence decision-making at the organizational level.
