As a Senior Risk Analyst on the AWS Sustainability Controllership Team, you will support the design, execution, and monitoring of risk and control activities across Amazon"s sustainability reporting ecosystem. You will contribute to key workstreams - including carbon emissions, water stewardship, renewable energy, and location data - by performing control testing, identifying gaps in data quality, and escalating emerging risks. You will partner with cross-functional teams to ensure that sustainability data flowing into external disclosures is accurate, complete, and audit-ready, while building foundational expertise in controllership frameworks and regulatory reporting requirements.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • High-impact work that directly supports Amazon"s annual Sustainability Report and global regulatory filings.
  • Greenfield opportunity to define sustainability controllership best practices from the ground up.
  • Cross-functional exposure across Finance, - Technology, Legal, Public Policy, and Sustainability teams.
  • Innovation-driven - our team is building AI-powered GRC tools and next-generation dashboards at scale.
  • Strong career trajectory in a space expanding rapidly due to global regulatory demand.
  • Mission-driven - accuracy here matters for the planet, not just the balance sheet.

Key job responsibilities

  • Designing and executing process-level and data-level controls across key sustainability metrics, including Carbon, Waste, Water, Community, and Workplace Health & Safety.
  • Supporting data reconciliation, consistency checks, and substantiation processes for metrics included in Amazon"s annual Sustainability Report and regulatory filings.
  • Partnering with Sustainability Tech, FinTech, and Business teams to onboard applications and datasets to GRC platforms.
  • Contributing to the development of scalable reporting tools, including controls and data quality dashboards, to improve efficiency and transparency across the program.
  • Supporting compliance with emerging regulatory frameworks, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and other global disclosure requirements.
  • Participating in Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews and cross-functional Meetings, providing clear and concise updates on workstream status and risk posture.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
