Job description

Job ID: 10569181 | Amazon.com Services LLC

We are seeking an Internal Auditor to join the Worldwide Amazon Stores Internal Audit team. Stores is one of the largest areas of Amazon’s business and continues to grow rapidly, spanning fulfillment centers, supply chain, logistics, transportation, and physical stores. This is a high-visibility opportunity where you will gain broad exposure across the business, contribute to audits that matter, and help drive meaningful improvements. Our team is cross-functional, and you will work on a wide range of operational and technical audits. You should be comfortable working independently on assigned audit work while also being a strong teammate.

In this role, you will execute audit procedures and testing based on defined audit scope and objectives. You will dig into the details of processes and controls, build an understanding of complex operational and technical environments, and help identify control gaps and process improvement opportunities related to operations, regulatory compliance, organization, policy, and technology. You will work closely with Audit Managers and senior auditors, and interact with engineers and business leaders to gather information, test controls, and document results clearly and accurately. You will manage your own deliverables across multiple audits at the same time.

We are not looking for someone who only documents issues. You should be able to clearly explain what you observe, why it matters, and how it impacts the business. You will contribute to well-written findings and reporting, support the prioritisation of issues in line with business objectives and regulatory expectations, and over time build confidence working with stakeholders to align on practical solutions and help verify that issues are addressed appropriately.

Key job responsibilities

• Executes assigned audit tasks and test steps on well defined components of audits within agreed timelines, under guidance from more senior auditors.
• Works effectively as a contributor within the audit team, collaborating with peers and supporting Audit Managers and senior auditors.
• Applies analytical thinking, including the use of data analytics and audit tools, to identify control gaps, process inefficiencies, and exceptions in assigned audit areas.
• Executes defined data analysis procedures to support testing, validate populations, and identify anomalies, escalating questions as needed.
• Dives deep into assigned processes and controls to ensure testing is complete, accurate, and well documented.
• Delivers high quality work by validating test results, reconciling data where applicable, and maintaining strong attention to detail.
• Supports the development of clear and concise workpapers and draft findings that explain the issue and business impact.
• Escalates issues, roadblocks, and priority conflicts appropriately and seeks direction when needed.
• Communicates clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing, with audit team members and stakeholders.
• Demonstrates curiosity and willingness to learn by building knowledge of audit practices, controls, data analytics, and assigned business domains.

About the team

Our team focuses on the Worldwide Amazon Stores Business, which includes all the processes and systems from the time the customer “clicks” to order a product to the item being delivered or returned and everything in between. Our audit universe is inventory procurement, fulfillment center operations, customer fulfillment, customer delivery experience, supply chain optimization, transportation, Amazon Logistics, robotics, health, safety, and environmental compliance, customer service, and unique delivery channels like WFM, Prime Now, Fresh and Pantry.

Basic qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent, or experience in an industry role
• 2+ years of experience working in risk/fraud analysis or in compliance organizations
• Experience working across cross-functional teams and partnering well with people at all levels within an organization

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in Logistics, Distribution or Fulfillment processes
• Experience with AI/ML technologies
• 2+ years of auditing business processes, risk management, program compliance or internal audits experience
• Experience using data and analytics to support risk assessments or audits.

• Background in consulting or large technology companies.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CISA, CIA, CPA).
