Senior Regulatory Assurance Specialist, Security & Privacy Regulatory Enablement; SPRe

Key job responsibilities

• Deliver external audit lifecycle activities across security and privacy domains — from planning and scoping through evidence coordination, auditor management, and report issuance
• Represent Amazon's security and privacy posture in external regulatory audits and examinations across multiple jurisdictions
• Coordinate evidence collection, collation, and presentation to external auditors and regulatory examiners across both security and privacy frameworks
• Develop and maintain Risk Control Matrices (RCMs) that map regulatory requirements to specific controls, evidence requirements, and testing procedures
• Manage audit findings, remediation tracking, and formal closure — including preparation of management responses and corrective action plans
• Drive detailed analysis of regulatory requirements in collaboration with legal teams, performing scoping and applicability assessments to determine which services, entities, and systems fall within scope
• Dive deep into the control environment across security and privacy — understanding the effectiveness of control design and operations, and identifying cross-domain synergies (e.g., overlapping controls such as access management, encryption, logging)
• Contribute to emerging regulations and technology standards, partnering with internal security, privacy, legal, and public policy teams to ensure Amazon's voice is represented in relevant forums
• Influence automation efforts for evidence collection and control testing to achieve compliance at scale
• Communicate clearly and effectively to senior stakeholders on audit status, programme health, and critical issues — escalating appropriately and driving issues to closure
• Break complex regulatory requirements into manageable programmes, ruthlessly prioritising, and delivering results across a global, multi-jurisdictional environment

SPRe operates through three interconnected gears forming a continuous flywheel:
Anticipate (regulatory engagement and horizon scanning),
Enable (programme design and regulatory compliance monitoring), and Assure (external audit delivery and regulatory examination management). This role leads the Assure function — the execution engine that demonstrates Amazon's compliance to the outside world.

Team members include security compliance specialists, privacy assurance specialists, and cross-domain flex resources operating across India, Europe, and the US.
