AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are. We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset.

The Security Assurance Services 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 AWS Security Assurance Services team works with our largest enterprise customers to operationalize the shared responsibility model as they migrate to the cloud. Are you a Governance, Risk, and Compliance leader who can address 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? The AWS Security Assurance Service team within AWS Support is seeking a talented Assurance Consultant 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 helping enable our customers in moving their workloads and regulated data into the cloud by addressing specific risk, regulatory, and compliance requirements. We are looking for an innovative security/compliance professional who has the ability to handle a wide range of compliance requirements, is willing to dive in to the details, can translate those requirements into scalable solutions, and is able to communicate at all levels within an organization.

Key job responsibilities

• Solutions - Lead a team to define innovative compliance and risk management approaches to customers that help the customer understand how to move sensitive workloads onto the cloud faster.
• Delivery - Engagements will require working to resolve security assurance questions and to understand how to manage risk and achieve compliance while operating in the AWS Cloud through deep dive discussions, strategic presentations/recommendations, and hands on demonstrations of automating compliance in the AWS environment.
• Insights - Lead efforts with AWS engineering, support, and business teams to convey partner and customer feedback as input to AWS technology roadmaps.
