• Partner across deal teams:
  Work closely with Corporate Development, business finance, legal, tax, and accounting stakeholders to drive integrated analyses (e.g., Buy vs. Build, synergy modeling, investment frameworks). You will build and leverage a network of trusted colleagues across AWS and Amazon to bring business‑centric expertise into your financial evaluations.
• Influence beyond the model:
  As a trusted finance partner on core deal teams, your perspective will extend into strategic rationale, target assessment, negotiation considerations, and the structure of approval documents ensuring financial insight shapes the full decision‑making process.
