Come build the future of privacy with us! To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people. We work in a fast-paced environment across multiple industries, never losing our passion for customers.

As a member of the Workplace Trust team, you will play a key role in operationalizing privacy across Amazon’s global employee, candidate, and contingent worker populations. This includes engaging with multiple stakeholders across the enterprise to help ensure compliant outcomes. You will be responsible for consulting with key stakeholders to drive alignment with global privacy regulatory requirements, including GDPR.

In the execution of Amazon’s global privacy obligations, you will rely heavily on your subject matter expertise, as well as your project management, analytical, and relationship building skills to develop and deploy innovative strategies for data protection.

The identified candidate will demonstrate proven experience to: support diverse stakeholders; evaluate control effectiveness; manage the execution of large, complex projects; improve process efficiency and scalability; understand levels of potential risk and how to address them; provide in-depth consultation; and have the ability to synthesize diverse data to identify patterns, draw conclusions, and prioritize remediation efforts using risk management concepts.

The ‘day-to-day’ aspect of this role will be to manage the team who reviews internal Amazon systems for compliance with global privacy obligations. You will be the point person for escalations, understanding the 'why and how', and putting in place a root cause fix. You will be responsible for identifying areas of friction and owning projects to reduce friction, clearing roadblocks your team may face in their roles. You will have assigned goals, aimed at strategically and operationally advancing privacy across Amazon, and lastly, you will be required to identify other areas of strategic improvement, understanding them fully and driving progress along the way.

The successful candidate leverages their background in compliance program management, data protection, records management, human resources, data governance, and/or data modelling to implement privacy controls across the internal technology ecosystem.
