Description

AWS Trust & Safety (T&S) is a global team that helps protect against abusive use of AWS services while simultaneously working to build trust with AWS’s customers, partners, and other stakeholders. T&S engages with a variety of stakeholders to understand cloud infrastructure-related trust and safety issues, develop fit-for-purpose frameworks to assess and minimize risks for AWS’s customers, and develop guidelines and processes for responding to trust and safety issues. Our team members display a solid understanding of AWS’s cloud infrastructure, strong technical knowledge, and the ability to exercise sound judgment on complex and time-sensitive matters.

The Risk & Response Technical Program Manager will work with the leaders across Trust & Safety to identify, research and contextualize emerging risks in the cloud computing and online safety space. You will dive deep on understanding cloud infrastructure, combine that understanding with information about emerging abuse trends, and assess the impact of those trends on AWS, our customers, and the work performed by Trust & Safety. You will help to lead T&S efforts to raise the bar on early abuse prevention and mitigation and your strategic thinking, analytical abilities, and stakeholder management skills will be put to practical use to ensure preparedness for risk incidents across T&S.

The ideal candidate will understand the role of trust and safety in cloud infrastructure, have experience developing trust and safety risk programs, be able to distill data and information from a variety of sources, assess emerging threats and external situations, and recommending areas of improvement. This is an inherently cross-functional role that requires close collaboration with T&S leadership, T&S Operations counterparts, AWS services, and cross-functional partners.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded professional and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have twelve employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.
