The Finance Operations team at Zoox sits at the center of the Finance organization. The team consolidates planning inputs from across FP&A into a single companywide financial forecast, and reports actuals and forecast performance upward to Zoox leadership and our parent company, Amazon. Finance Operations co-owns MEC activities with Zoox Accounting, driving core accrual, allocation, and reconciliation workstreams, as well as key managerial financial reporting packages. Lastly, Finance Operations governs purchase order hygiene, enforcing accounting policy at the point of commitment and tracking timely goods receipts. As a Finance Operations Analyst, your primary responsibilities will focus on MEC and purchase order hygiene, and flex into projects supporting other areas of scope for the team. You will partner with budget owners across the organization, the FP&A analysts, and Accounting on these workstreams and directly drive improvement of financial processes and accuracy of financial results.  This role requires a solid understanding of U.S. GAAP and procure-to-pay processes, along with the judgment to know when to resolve an issue directly and when to escalate it. You will leverage SAP S4, SAP Ariba, and other internal reporting systems to analyze spend data and provide actionable insights that improve compliance, spend visibility, and the efficiency of the requisition process.
