Senior Production Finance Executive – DE, Prime Video EU Production Finance

In this role, you'll drive Production Finance operations for Amazon Studios' German slate — acting as the financial controller across the full production lifecycle, from greenlight through final cost close-out. You'll define how we measure, report, and communicate financial performance across German productions, owning the metrics and dashboards that inform executive decision-making. With full autonomy over funding, controllership, and compliance, you'll be the person leadership relies on to surface risks early, explain variances clearly, and keep financial operations running cleanly at pace. You'll also set the standard for how the broader team works — simplifying processes, scaling tools, and raising the bar for production finance across the EU organisation.

Amazon MGM Studios is one of Germany's largest investors in original content, producing an expanding slate of series, feature films, unscripted entertainment, and live formats for Prime Video customers worldwide. Germany is a cornerstone European market — home to long-running hit franchises like LOL: Last One Laughing and a growing film ambition that includes the first German Amazon Original theatrical release (Der Tiger, 2025).

At Amazon, we believe that in-person collaboration is essential to our culture and innovation. While we allow flexibility for personal circumstances, we generally expect employees to work from our offices five days a week. This approach has consistently shown that spontaneous interactions, rapid problem-solving, and the energy of in-person teamwork lead to better results for our customers. In particular, our data shows that teams working together in person are more effective at making complex decisions, onboarding new team members, and fostering the kind of creative collaboration that has driven Amazon's success. The serendipitous hallway conversations and impromptu whiteboarding sessions that happen naturally in an office environment have proven invaluable to our invention process and maintaining our high bar for excellence.
