    Amazon Studios is responsible for producing and acquiring compelling, exclusive Original content for our massive global base of Amazon Prime Video customers.

    We need your passion, innovative ideas, and creativity to help take us to new heights.
    Amazon Studios is seeking a Principal Finance Manager to join our Culver City-based team.

    This role requires a self-starter with strong analytics, business acumen, keen attention to detail and a track record of influencing senior business leaders to drive the organization to the right result.

    This role has regular interaction with multiple teams across Amazon Studios and Prime Video, and requires strong verbal and written communication skills, as well as the ability to think both strategically and tactically, analyze quantitatively and problem-solve.
