The AWS Business Continuity (BC) Team is seeking a forward-thinking, analytical, and dynamic Principle Security Industry Specialist to drive and enhance our enterprise-wide resilience capabilities. You will join a team tasked with ensuring that AWS’ critical operations remain robust and adaptable in the face of disruptions, spanning our global infrastructure, security, services, and operations. Working with the BC team and internal customers across AWS, you will execute the strategy to continuously improve the program and find innovative ways to assess, measure and treat resiliency risk, and test our ability to maintain operational resilience against real-world scenarios.

The ideal candidate brings extensive experience in building risk and resilience programs within complex technical environments, particularly in cloud infrastructure and services. Success in this role requires exceptional stakeholder management skills, deep technical acumen, and the ability to translate resilience principles into practical, scalable solutions across AWS's global operations.

Key job responsibilities
• Drive clarity and consensus on business continuity at AWS through extensive senior customer engagement (including VPs and Directors) across multiple organizations and geographies.
• Independently adapt significantly complex real-world scenarios to analyze, plan, test, and improve our understanding of critical capabilities
• Introduce and implement unique processes, methodologies, and metrics around risk that align with AWS unique structure and innovative culture
• Ensure the BC program aligns to customer expectations as well as global regulations and obligations
• Be a thought leader on the future of business continuity and the resilience of cloud computing by communicating to an increasingly diverse set of audiences
• Partner with resilience teams globally to develop a narrative around AWS’ end-to-end model of business continuity planning
