Finance Manager, AWS Data Center Operations

We are hiring a Finance Manager to support Data Center Operations across assigned data center campuses within the East Coast region. The role owns regional OpEx consolidation and financial alignment across annual planning, quarterly forecasting, and monthly reporting cycles.

The role serves as the East Coast consolidation lead across major cost areas and functional inputs, culminating in a clear and actionable Monthly Financial Review and supporting monthly mechanisms. It integrates inputs into a single regional view, reconciles assumptions when teams differ, and translates cost movements into clear drivers, forward-looking risks, and trade-offs that align with operational reality on the ground.

The role partners with functional expense owners who maintain category inputs and deep driver context, and with FP&A teams at more aggregated levels to ensure the East Coast story is represented accurately in rollups and leadership narratives. In parallel, it strengthens mechanisms through governance, standard definitions, and automation to improve forecast reliability, reduce manual reconciliation, and increase transparency and decision speed.


Key job responsibilities
-- Own the East Coast Monthly Financial Review, regional OpEx consolidation, and the single source of truth, including input ownership, version control, and standard definitions.

-- Coordinate inputs across major cost areas and campuses into a single leadership-ready narrative aligned to operational reality, highlighting the few drivers that matter most and calling out risks and required decisions.

-- Partner with functional expense owners to validate assumptions and reconcile differences across inputs while preserving clear ownership of category drivers. Act as the regional filter for shared updates that affect multiple cost areas.

-- Translate variances and emerging risks into clear decision framing, including a small set of options with trade-offs, recommended next steps, and stated assumptions, using leading indicators to surface drift early.

-- Represent Finance in cluster and sub-cluster forums and partner with aggregated FP&A teams to ensure East Coast results, risks, and trade-offs are represented accurately in rollups and leadership narratives.

-- Analyze macro trends and benchmarking gaps to improve cost visibility and predictability.

-- Drive improvements to controllership, governance, reporting consistency, and automation that reduce manual effort and improve transparency.
