The Worldwide Sustainability (WWS) organization capitalizes on Amazon’s scale and speed to build a more resilient and sustainable company. We manage our social and environmental impacts globally, and drive solutions that enable our customers, businesses, and the world to become more sustainable.

Working with teams across the organization, we strive to accelerate Amazon’s progress towards our commitment to reach net-zero carbon across our global operations by 2040. Our work covers vision and strategy, low carbon investments and innovation, scenarios and forecasting, and engaging with external partners to shape standards and future abatement opportunities.

We are seeking an innovative and highly-analytical leader to join the team. You'll be accountable for developing and implementing strategies on clean energy accounting standards. This is a highly visible position that requires strong collaboration with internal teams, external partners, and senior leaders.

The role demands a deep understanding of carbon free electricity procurement challenges, particularly in emerging economies, and the ability to think big about what’s next for carbon free electricity.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in clean energy and international carbon accounting standards, and is an experienced strategist and relationship builder. You have a track record of exceptional performance in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where managing multiple projects and priorities is the norm. You have excellent judgment, high standards, and the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly. You are motivated by complexity and dive deep into complex energy transition topics, while also driving simple, innovative solutions.
