About the Role
We are seeking a technical leader to join the StoresBST Differentiated Security Team (DST) Leadership Team. This role leads two of DST's four charters: Merger and Acquisition (M&A) Security Integration for the EMEA and APAC regions and Differentiated Security Initiatives (DSI). As the M&A Security Integration lead for EMEA and APAC, you will operate under the direction of the Sr. Manager, SDO Security Integration, driving security onboarding for acquisitions from deal close through full integration across the EMEA region. Responsibilities include coordinating cross-functional security workstreams, managing post-close security findings, and ensuring acquired business units meet Amazon's security standards within established timelines.

As the DSI charter owner, you will lead special projects addressing security gaps in differentiated environments that introduce risk within Stores. This involves identifying emerging security challenges, scoping initiatives, and delivering solutions that reduce risk exposure across differentiated assets at scale.

You will manage a geographically dispersed team of security engineers and technical program managers, balancing concurrent workstreams across M&A integration and security initiatives. This role requires strong cross-organizational collaboration skills and partnership with SDO stakeholders, acquired business unit leadership, and the broader StoresBST organization to deliver measurable security outcomes.
