Finance Manager, EMEA Data Center Finance team
Job ID: 10441458 | Amazon Data Services Ireland Limited
This Finance Manager role sits within the Data Center Global Services Finance team in Dublin, supporting the full lifecycle of AWS's data centre capacity — from procurement and supply chain through to construction and design engineering. You'll provide end-to-end financial analysis that directly informs how AWS builds and scales its global infrastructure, partnering with operations, business development, and engineering leaders to drive cost efficiency and cash flow across a multi‑billion dollar portfolio of programmes.
The Data Center Global Services team is responsible for designing and delivering data centre capacity worldwide. In this role, you'll act as a key finance partner to AWS senior management — producing financial planning, forecasting, and performance reporting on a weekly, monthly, and annual cadence. Your analysis will feed directly into decisions on where and how AWS invests in new infrastructure, identifying cost savings through vendor benchmarking, procurement strategy, and cross‑locale comparison. You'll build and implement long‑term forecasting models, lead financial reviews, and work across finance, construction, IT, and design teams on cost reduction, automation, and process improvement initiatives. This is a role with clear line of sight between your output and the strategic direction of one of the fastest‑growing areas of AWS.
