ERP Transformation Manager, Accounting Transformation Group

DESCRIPTION

Amazon is seeking a Senior ERP Transformation manager to lead Accounting program execution for a multi-year transformation of Amazon’s Finance ERP platform. This leader will serve as a lead for the ERP transformation, driving integrated execution across Accounting, Finance, Product, Engineering, Solution Architecture, Internal Controls, SAP, and implementation partners.
This role will translate the ERP transformation strategy into an executable program and ensure Accounting requirements are successfully delivered through design, build, testing, deployment, and stabilization. The Senior ERP Transformation Manager will establish program governance, drive cross-functional decisions, manage risks and dependencies, coordinate Accounting workstreams, and ensure the program remains aligned with Amazon’s controllership, financial reporting, and operational requirements.
The ideal candidate combines deep accounting and controllership expertise with exceptional large-scale program leadership. They should be comfortable operating at the intersection of Accounting and technology, navigating ambiguity, influencing senior leaders, and driving complex decisions across organizations.

The role requires strong knowledge of Finance ERP processes and capabilities, including General Ledger, Record-to-Report, consolidation, intercompany accounting, foreign currency, chart of accounts, legal entity structures, subledgers, financial reporting, and internal controls. Experience with large-scale SAP S/4HANA, Oracle ERP, or comparable Finance transformation programs is highly preferred.

• Identify opportunities to simplify Accounting processes, reduce manual activities, strengthen controllership, and maximize adoption of standard ERP capabilities.
• Mentor program managers and establish scalable mechanisms that drive transparency, ownership, accountability, and delivery excellence.
