Security Assurance Specialist, UAE, AWS Compliance and Security Assurance EMEA

Description

Amazon obsesses over customers, and delivering secure cloud solutions for customers is our priority. We are looking for a cybersecurity professional with security assurance and compliance experience to support AWS's cybersecurity initiatives in the UAE region.

You should be UAE National to be considered for this role.

• Dive deep into the Amazon control environment to develop broad domain and technical understanding of our security activities and control implementations to articulate compliance implications to both customers and internal/external audit functions.
• Develop understanding of regulated industry compliance requirements and communicate how we control activities to meet global regulatory obligations.
• Liaise with customers, regulators and auditors, articulate control implementation, and describe considerations for applying security and compliance concepts to monitor, evaluate, and continuously improve the organization by being a trusted advisor, facilitator and creative problem solver.
• Implement continuous improvements to the security organization and the program management process. Share program/project process frameworks, tools, and best practices that can be adopted throughout the organization.

Apply a working knowledge of global information security regulation and policy to articulate customer and control impact and drive alignment to Amazon controls.

On any given day, you'll be working directly with customers to respond to their assurance needs, helping third‑party auditors understand the AWS control environment, or talking to regulators about how AWS views cloud security. You'll be talking to AWS service teams about how the technology works under the hood and helping translate that technology into meaningful security and compliance outcomes.
