Job description

Lead, Regulatory Affairs, AMER, Amazon Leo Regulatory

Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. This is a unique opportunity to work in the development of a global broadband satellite communication system and make a difference in bridging the digital divide.

The Lead, Regulatory Affairs, Americas (AMER) supports the development and execution of regulatory strategies aligned with business and service availability priorities, and identifies potential regulatory risks that may impact Amazon Leo's ability to deploy services throughout the region. This role is primarily focused on South America, with potential engagement across the broader Americas as needed. The candidate will work on strategies and mechanisms to mitigate those risks, and engage and maintain liaison with national and regional telecommunications organizations. The Lead, Regulatory Affairs, AMER will contribute to shaping regulations affecting non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) systems, telecommunications service providers, the access to and use of Ka‑band band and other frequencies for satellite services, including emerging direct‑to‑device (D2D) spectrum bands, and other relevant regulations, in collaboration with relevant stakeholders. The ideal candidate will be responsible for educating regulators on satellite and spectrum regulations, telecommunications services, and other issues involved with deploying and maintaining a global satellite broadband service. The ideal candidate will have experience shaping regulatory frameworks for satellite communications systems -- to include space stations, earth stations/gateway stations, customer/user equipment, spectrum, the provision of services (wholesale and retail models), and the regulatory obligations applicable to satellite operators and telecommunications service providers, be familiar with regulatory agencies in the AMER, and be able to assess and, if necessary, recommend improvements to regulatory frameworks in order to optimize Amazon Leo service to customers. The Lead, Regulatory Affairs, AMER will engage cross-functionally with Public Policy, Legal, Business, Public Relations, Engineering and Operations professionals, and collaborate closely with Amazon Leo Regulatory team members supporting Global Licensing, Engineering, Global Service Compliance, Technical Program Management, and Law Enforcement Response and Intercept.

This position may require access to information, technology, or hardware that is subject to export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Employment in this position is contingent upon obtaining any required export licenses or other approvals from the United States government. As such, the successful candidate must be eligible to obtain any necessary export licenses or approvals based on their nationality, citizenship, and any other factors considered by the applicable export control regulations.
