Job Description:

Amazon’s Transportation Risk & Compliance (TRC) team provides a framework for Amazon’s transportation programs to identify and manage risk in a rapidly growing and complex, global environment. To support the business, our primary mission is to perform independent and objective assessment of risks and testing of the controls embedded in Amazon business partners’ processes with the goal of optimizing the achievement of strategic objectives by minimizing negative surprises.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Risk Manager to join our Global Risk Management (GRM) team.

Key job responsibilities:

1. Assist Amazon transportation stakeholders (e.g., risk partners and business leaders) with identifying and managing potential risks (e.g., regulatory, operational, or reputational) in their core processes that if left untreated could impact the achievement of their strategic objectives.
2. Apply the risk management framework to Amazon transportation programs and influence the product landscape for audit and controls.
3. Guide senior leadership, resolve risk management concerns, implement mitigation strategies, and influence the product roadmap.
4. Perform readiness reviews on new program launches.

A day in the life:

This Senior Risk Manager will leverage their knowledge of regulations, their insight into industry standards, and their experience in risk assessment and mitigation to create and influence Amazon’s transportation policies and strategies throughout the business life-cycle.
