Are you looking for an exciting role where you can analyze and develop end-to-end risk management processes with big improvement impacts to protect our customers? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is rapidly expanding its global presence, with AWS Security being at the forefront of protecting our customers.

The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) team within Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an experienced and self-motivated risk professional with a proven record of identifying, organizing, leading, and monitoring the risks in the AWS Infrastructure space in order to protect customer data and information.

A successful candidate will have the opportunity to manage and iterate an innovative approach to identifying, assessing, and driving remediation for risks of the AWS Infrastructure (e.g.: network, Data Centres, Hardware, …). The candidate must be comfortable with balancing strategic thinking with tactical, detailed execution while working independently, sorting through ambiguously defined problems, identifying and facing big challenges and adjusting to sudden and frequent change. This role acts as a key liaison with AWS infrastructure teams and related Amazon corporate teams.

The right candidate is someone who thinks big, understands risks and enjoys innovating brand new controls/solutions to mitigate risks.

· Work cross functionally with service, infrastructure, security teams, and related Amazon corporate functions;
· Bridge communication with both technical engineering and business teams to successfully capture risk mitigation activities;
· Communicate to leadership the status and key deliverables of team initiatives, seek diverse opinions and coordinate improvement efforts;
· Mature and develop innovative approaches to the management of risks in a manner that effectively and efficiently manages the risks while meeting the needs of internal customers and minimizing business impact;
· Assist with linking policy, standard operating procedures, controls, monitoring, and reporting with the goal of improving operations, compliance policies, and risk management;
