Senior Financial Analyst, DEU Marketplace

This Finance analyst role sits within the Germany Stores Finance team in Munich, supporting Amazon's largest EU marketplace — a multi-billion dollar business spanning Retail and third-party (3P) sales across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. You'll provide end-to-end topline financial analysis that directly informs how the DE business plans, forecasts, and accelerates growth, partnering with senior commercial, marketplace, and operations leaders to identify and quantify revenue opportunities across a complex, fast-moving P&L.

The Germany Stores Finance team sits at the heart of Amazon's EU commercial strategy. In this role, you'll act as a key finance partner to DE senior management — owning topline planning, weekly and monthly performance reporting, and forward-looking forecasting across FBA, MFN, and marketplace channels. Your analysis will feed directly into decisions on growth initiatives, deal strategy, and competitive positioning. You'll build and maintain automated auditing and forecasting tools (including AI-driven solutions), lead financial reviews across a broader EU Marketplace Finance community, and drive continuous improvement in how the team tracks, explains, and influences topline performance. This is a role with direct line of sight between your output and the strategic direction of one of the most commercially consequential businesses within Amazon's European operations — with real scope to grow your EU footprint over time.

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.
