Success requires the ability to interpret complex requirements, coordinate multiple stakeholders, manage uncertainty, and build scalable compliance processes that support continued network growth across the UAE.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage engineering and technical compliance throughout all project stages, from early planning and due diligence through construction, launch, and operation.
• Develop and maintain compliance frameworks aligned with UAE regulatory requirements and relevant engineering standards.
• Coordinate permit applications, approvals, renewals, and supporting documentation required for Amazon Now facilities.

• Manage compliance uncertainty by identifying regulatory risks early and developing practical mitigation strategies.
• Build effective working relationships with regulatory authorities and external stakeholders responsible for technical approvals.
• Coordinate technical compliance audits and assessments with internal cross-functional teams.
• Track audit findings, corrective actions, regulatory commitments, and closure dates to maintain continuous compliance.
• Improve engineering compliance processes using operational data, program metrics, audit outcomes, and lessons learned.
• Support project teams with due diligence activities before site acquisition, development, or operational launch.
• Advise internal stakeholders on technical compliance implications when project scope, design, or operating requirements change.
• Work with external partners and consultants to establish compliant engineering solutions and documentation packages.
• Identify recurring compliance issues and develop standardized controls, templates, and escalation mechanisms.
• Provide strategic compliance guidance to leadership when regulatory requirements create potential project, cost, or operational risks.

Ideal Profile

The successful candidate will have at least five years of experience in compliance program management, governance, audit, legal, risk, loss prevention, or a comparable discipline, together with five or more years of program or project management experience. The role requires someone who can work confidently with confidential information and manage complex compliance matters involving multiple internal and external stakeholders. Strong candidates will have experience defining program requirements, using data and metrics to identify weaknesses, and implementing measurable improvements. Experience in engineering, facilities, construction, permitting, technical compliance, or regulatory operations will be particularly relevant.
