Amazon"s Seller Privacy Program is seeking a Principal Risk Manager to lead centralized privacy strategy and compliance across Worldwide Selling Partner Services (SPS). In this role, you will serve as the single-threaded owner of Seller privacy compliance spanning hundreds of applications across 5+ VP organizations, driving long-term strategy and near-term execution to protect Sellers" data rights under GDPR, CCPA, and emerging global regulations.
You will operate at the intersection of regulatory risk, technical systems, and business priorities - defining the privacy roadmap, resolving organizational ambiguity, and influencing cross-VP decision-making without direct authority. This is a high-judgment, high-impact role where the business problem, solution, and risk strategy are often undefined, and you will be expected to create clarity, build mechanisms, and drive results at scale. You will write strategic documents for VP audiences, lead escalations up to VP level, and represent Sellers in Amazon-wide privacy decisions. If you thrive in ambiguity, can influence at the highest levels, and want to protect Sellers" data rights - we want to talk to you.
Key job responsibilities
A day in the life
You might start your day checking goal progress across your privacy portfolio, then shift to authoring a VP-level status update on compliance posture. Mid-morning, you"re drafting a cycle planning document that frames trade-offs between a compliance deadline and competing business goals, or writing an escalation document to unblock a critical dependency. After lunch, you"re influencing cross-functional stakeholders - Engineering, Legal, Product - to achieve delivery commitments and keep priorities on track. By end of day, you"re reporting progress to VP audiences, reviewing communications for accuracy and strategic framing, and identifying what needs to escalate versus what you can solve through your network. No two days are alike, and the problems are rarely pre-defined.
