Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer‑centric company where people can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. As we continue to grow and innovate, we’re seeking ambitious Finance Apprentices to join our dynamic team. In this role, you’ll gain hands‑on experience in financial management while working alongside industry experts, developing expertise in accountancy, taxation, and business strategy.

This is your opportunity to launch your finance career at a company that's redefining the future of commerce, where you’ll contribute to strategic business decisions that shape Amazon’s future.

As a Finance Apprentice, you’ll be based in the Tax Team.

You will learn to analyse complex financial data, provide valuable insights and strategic business advice, partner with key stakeholders and assist organisations in making sustainable financial decisions, audit financial statements, and much more! A career as a taxation professional can be diverse and challenging; it’s not just about putting numbers into a spreadsheet. You’ll use technical knowledge, skills and experience to guide organisations and people to make responsible and sustainable financial decisions.

• Collaborating with cross‑functional teams on high‑impact projects
• Analysing financial data to uncover insights and drive decision‑making
• Support data‑driven financial decisions
• Participate in client meetings and presentations
• Learn from industry experts through mentorship and training programmes
• Apply your skills to real‑world business needs

We welcome individuals from all backgrounds who have a genuine passion for finance and business insight with strong analytical and problem‑solving skills. Excellent communication skills will be paramount, as you must possess the ability to foster a collaborative environment and work effectively with cross‑functional teams building trusted and sustainable relationships. To be successful in this role, you will need to have an eagerness to learn and grow professionally and could take ownership of allocated projects to deliver high quality work with the appropriate timelines.

You also need to be flexible, adapting approaches to assist stakeholders to manage their conflicting priorities as circumstances change.

Within this apprenticeship you’ll have the opportunity to learn by doing, putting newfound knowledge into practice every day. Our first‑class coaching, tailored development opportunities, and challenging, rewarding work will empower you to reach new heights. If you’re a curious learner eager to grow, this is your chance to unlock your full potential and build the future you envision.

You will gain a vast range of useful experiences and skills whilst working towards the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) certification as well as the Level 7 apprenticeship standard. As a working student your focus is to complete your studies in your 20% off the job time by learning and developing your skills, knowledge and behaviours to work towards successful graduation.

Please note:

As part of your off‑the‑job learning, you may be required to travel to a training centre. This location may differ from your primary work base. Candidates should be prepared for occasional travel as part of the apprenticeship programme. You will be set goals by your training provider and manager to support your studies.

You will build your skills over a 42‑month period, starting in September. These skills will help you develop personally and professionally. Your apprenticeship will be made up of classroom/virtual based training to cover knowledge, on‑the‑job training at your Amazon base location, online learning as well as mentoring from our experienced team members.

You’ll join a diverse and passionate team. We value different perspectives and experiences, and we’re dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Our employee‑led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences.
