Job description

As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon's unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers' businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon's real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.

The AWS Security Assurance Services (SAS) team, a part of Amazon Web Services, leverages the expertise and ingenuity of our builders to establish scalable security solutions for both internal and external customers that drive business outcomes. Our goal of securing the world's workloads and building a brighter future for humanity requires us to focus on reliable delivery of bar raising security outcomes and investment in security mechanisms and automation on behalf of our customers.

The SAS team works with our largest enterprise customers to operationalize the shared responsibility model as they migrate to the cloud. Are you a Security, Governance, Risk, and Compliance leader who can build a team that addresses the challenges of migrating systems and workloads to the cloud? Are you skilled at helping executives address their enterprise risk management requirements using highly scalable computing architectures?

SAS, within AWS Support, is seeking a talented Mgr., Security Assurance Solutions Architect to help the expansion of the Security Assurance practice and educate our customers on how our product-led, people-powered services help operate their business securely on AWS while also demonstrating assurance that compliance objectives can be achieved. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute at the intersection of cloud, cyber security, and compliance. You will have the opportunity to work with multiple lines of business and learn from (and contribute to) a variety of security and compliance use cases.

This is a customer facing role where success is measured by developing a high performing team of solutions architects who help enable our customers in moving their workloads and regulated data into the cloud by addressing specific risk, regulatory, and compliance requirements. You will be expected to also work in a Business Development capacity, assisting our AWS sellers to position the value and applicability of your team into customer projects and long-term relationships.

We are looking for an innovative security and compliance leader who enjoys establishing strategy and then drives consensus across the team to achieve a vision.
