Description

Would you like to help the ProServe business at Amazon Web Services (AWS) more effectively support customers? Do you have the business background necessary to manage a Governance Risk and Compliance function?

AWS Professional Services (ProServe) is building a Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) team that will support the overall ProServe practice of rules, policies, and standards that guide business decisions. The role will develop and pilot policy and strategies to provide governance structures that ultimately impact how we manage and report operational risk to the ProServe Business.

You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive global initiative and KPIs, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in, and get the job done! Maturity, high judgment, ability to influence, analytical talent and leadership are essential to success in this role.

Key job responsibilities

This role will drive improvements in operational risk oversight, challenge, and reporting by connecting drivers of future trends to historical behavior, creating operational risk frameworks and models, and testing hypotheses using rigorous monitoring and analysis. As a GRC specialist, you will coordinate with stakeholders across risk management and lines of business to manage the sequence of delivery and intent, build requirements, and execute against strategy. You will also:

• Oversee multiple projects and programs concurrently;

• Provide risk analysis and consulting to cross functional business areas, providing guidance to implementing risk mitigation plans, compliant execution strategies and business growth opportunities;

• Own and lead business-wide initiatives aimed at improving team approaches, team engagement and/or our underlying risk policies and processes;

• Manage and continually refine the Quality Review and Inspection mechanisms for ProServe; and

• Implement through narratives and cross functional collaboration strategy, policy, processes and tools.
