Senior Operations Finance Analyst

Job Description
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 to Amazon. Finance Operations also owns the controls behind how Zoox commits and spends money: governing purchase requisition and purchase order intake, enforcing accounting policy and GL coding standards at the point of commitment, and validating that spend ties out to budget.

As a Finance Operations Analyst, 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.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. 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.
