Arlington, Virginia, United States Amazon Full time
Amazon has an immediate opening for a Senior Program Manager to join our Accounting Technology Group. This leader will work closely with the global lease accounting and lease systems teams.

In this role, the candidate will be part of a team that collaborates with business, finance, and technical teams to deliver world-class solutions that are highly scalable, secure, and flexible.

This person will have operated successfully in a fast-paced, global, results-oriented environment.

Strong oral and written communication skills are crucial, as well as the ability to think clearly, analyze quantitatively, problem-solve, scope business requirements, and prioritize.


As a Senior Program Manager within the Accounting Technology Group, you will impact and influence Lease Accounting systems and solutions.

The role drives a portfolio of projects, improvements, feature requests, and process changes to support accounting compliance and efficiency.

You will also:

  • Own and Manage: You'll own and manage lifecycle activities from beginning to end (planning, requirements gathering, technology team partnerships, UAT planning and performance, project closing, and stakeholder engagement) for multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Automate: You'll work on automation projects and lead the coordination of designing processes and tools to make financial statement processes easier and more accurate.
  • Support Internal Customer Goals: You'll support the goals of lease accounting to scale and account for the Amazon business by ensuring the implementation of changes to increased scope of Amazon business and regulatory needs.
  • Consult: You'll operate as a valued consultant to partner with many different stakeholder teams across Amazon.
  • Make Decisions: You'll be an empowered, impactful decision maker who drives the direction of a project to completion.
  • Collaborate: You'll collaborate with Amazonians of diverse backgrounds.
Successful candidates will have deep experience in the following three disciplines - Accounting, Program Management, and Finance Systems. Candidate experience should cover financial processes, project management, accounting requirements documentation, process design, and user acceptance testing responsibilities.

Demonstrated experience in leading teams to accomplish unusually complex challenges is expected as this is an ongoing requirement for this position.

A day in the life
In this role, you will lead multiple projects supporting lease accounting objectives. Teams will consist of functional, technical, and accounting business customers. You will drive project planning, with defined scope, team charters, and project plans.

Project work will vary; the ability to identify and adapt different engagement models, communication strategies, and risk mitigation plans will be critical to this role.

The role will identify and drive milestones, assign resources, and provide guidance on change. You will identify roadblocks for delivery and work with teams to communicate, escalate, and solve. The ideal candidate is customer obsessed, delivery focused, leader, and hands-on contributor with superior collaborative and communication skills.
