Description

Ready to tell meaningful stories that shape both internal culture and external reputation at one of the world's most innovative companies? We are seeking a high judgment, creative, and results-driven communications professional for the Finance & Global Business Services (FGBS) Communications team, within Finance and Governance Communications. You'll uncover and craft compelling narratives that bring our work to life, working closely with finance leadership and subject matter experts across FGBS as part of Amazon's broader Communications and Corporate Responsibility (CCR) organization.

Your impact will include:

- Developing thought leadership content and strategic narratives that transform complex financial and technical concepts into engaging stories

The ideal candidate thinks strategically, takes initiative, and has a proven track record of developing high-impact narratives across owned, earned, and internal channels. Strong editorial judgment and ability to identify newsworthy angles are essential, as is experience adapting content for different audiences. We value candidates who are excited to experiment with emerging technologies and AI tools to enhance communication effectiveness.

Success in this role requires thriving in a fast-paced environment, embracing ambiguity, and maintaining composure while juggling multiple priorities. You should be confident asking questions, quick to grasp complex issues, and skilled at developing thoughtful messaging strategies under deadline.

• Write and manage communications for a range of internal and external projects, including events, financial announcements, technology launches, and more.

• Ensure opportunities to communicate are bar raising in both content and delivery for our internal and external stakeholders.

• Prepare PR recommendations on key announcements and developments.

• Work closely with the Events and Programs Specialist and program partners to design and implement internal and external event content. Partners include HR teams like Recruiting and Student Programs, as well as employee-led groups like the Women in Finance Initiative (WiFi).
