About the Role
The Security Assurance Services (SAS) team at Amazon Web Services (AWS) leverages the expertise and ingenuity of our builders to establish scalable security solutions for both internal and external customers that drive business outcomes. Our mission is to secure the world's workloads and build a brighter future by delivering bar-raising security outcomes and investing in security mechanisms and automation on behalf of our customers.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute at the intersection of cloud, cybersecurity, and compliance.

This customer-facing role involves working with multiple lines of business, addressing specific risk, regulatory, and compliance requirements to enable customers to move their workloads and regulated data into the cloud securely. Success is measured by helping customers understand and manage risk, achieve compliance, and operate securely in the AWS Cloud.

Key responsibilities include leading teams of Amazonians, partners, and customers to enhance security assurance and compliance programs; defining innovative compliance and risk management approaches; resolving security assurance questions; delivering strategic presentations and hands-on demonstrations; and collaborating with AWS engineering, support, and business teams to provide customer feedback that influences AWS technology roadmaps. Occasional travel to customer sites may be required.
