About the Role
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 serve as the first line of review for purchase requisitions across Zoox, ensuring every commitment is structured, coded, and approved in compliance with U.S. GAAP and Zoox accounting policy. Reporting to the Manager, Finance Operations, you will partner daily with budget owners across Engineering, Operations, and G&A, with the FP&A lead analysts who own each spending area, and with Accounting on coding and capitalization questions. Beyond transactional review, you will support month-end close through open PO cleanup and accrual data, and build the recurring reporting that shows Finance leadership where committed spend stands against budget. 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.
