Owns and matures the risk, controls, and compliance framework for Amazon Leo's Network and Security compliance obligations.
We are seeking a Sr. Risk Manager to own and mature the risk and controls framework within our regulatory security and network compliance portfolio. This leader will identify, assess, and mitigate security and compliance risks across regulated product and service lines by designing scalable control environments, driving continuous risk monitoring, and ensuring adherence to applicable regulatory obligations. This individual will assess complex, competing priorities across security and network controls, regulatory obligations, and business timelines; making informed trade-offs that balance compliance rigor with operational agility. The role requires deep expertise in building risk-based control structures within highly regulated environments, partnering with security engineering, legal, and compliance teams to embed proactive risk management into operational processes. The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in regulatory frameworks, control design and testing, and the ability to translate complex risk landscapes into actionable mitigation strategies and executive-ready reporting. We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic about technology, enjoys being continually challenged, and demonstrates sound judgment even in ambiguous situations.
Key job responsibilities

* Use high judgement to provide recommendations to the organization to solve ambiguous, complex business problems.
* Evaluate competing demands across internal control workstreams, regulatory timelines, and business objectives. Frame trade-offs clearly for leadership, recommend risk acceptance or mitigation paths, and document residual risk decisions with appropriate escalation.
