Job description

DESCRIPTION:

Amazon is looking for a Senior Program Manager to lead Governance, Risk and Assurance for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). EPR is an environmental protection policy under which manufacturers, producers and distributors take responsibility for their products and packaging at their end of life, by establishing systems to collect and recycle post-consumer waste.

The EPR compliance team ensures that Amazon transactions are collected and recycled properly. The team coordinates the aspects of product transactions that are regulated, such as shipping packaging, product recycling, information to customers, etc. This involves creating programs to fulfill recycling requirements across multiple jurisdictions, and monitoring selling partner compliance. The team is also responsible for keeping Amazon customers aware of the recycling initiatives available.

This role is responsible for identifying and analyzing risks, testing the effectiveness of existing compliance controls, and identifying improvement opportunities to strengthen Amazon's risk profile. The individual will conduct regulatory deep-dives, implement risk assurance missions, document findings, define follow-up actions, and drive implementation together with partner teams.

The ideal candidate must have excellent communication skills, strong regulatory knowledge, particularly with respect to Extended Producer Responsibility regulations, demonstrated success in program management, and experience in implementing complex and technical projects. They must be comfortable in different roles, sometimes supporting, sometimes leading, and have the ability to "roll up their sleeves" to drive initiatives to completion.

Key job responsibilities

1. Design and implement risk assurance missions to test the effectiveness of existing compliance controls, and identify improvement opportunities.
2. Document findings, define follow-up actions, and drive implementation with partner teams.
3. Identify and prioritize regulatory requirements, and influence roadmaps from partner teams, where necessary.
4. Coordinate with technical teams across time zones to develop new mechanisms that enable the program team to move faster and more effectively.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Knowledge of Microsoft Office products and applications at an advanced level
• Experience in compliance, audit or risk management
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Project Management Professional (PMP) or equivalent certification
• Experience leveraging technology and implementing lean principles / Six Sigma methodologies to drive process improvements or equivalent
• Master's degree or equivalent
