  • Work cross-functionally across Finance (e.g. Treasury, Accounting, Tax) to ensure ongoing regulatory and Amazon policy compliance by acquired subsidiaries. Drive improvements at the program and individual subsidiary level with operational teams and Finance leaders.
  • Educate subsidiary and Amazon stakeholders on priority controls and policies.
