    Job Description

    Join us at the forefront of Amazon"s sustainability initiatives to work on environmental and social advancements to support Amazon"s long term worldwide sustainability strategy. At Amazon, we"re working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people.

    The Worldwide Sustainability (WWS) organization capitalizes on Amazon's scale and speed to build a more resilient and sustainable company. We manage our social and environmental impacts globally, and drive solutions that enable our customers, businesses, and the world to become more sustainable.

    The Worldwide Sustainability Regulatory Reporting team is looking for a detail focused, results-oriented and collaborative individual to support Amazon's global sustainability disclosure processes. Your work will help scale Amazon's regulatory reporting infrastructure and deliver high‑quality sustainability disclosures by partnering cross‑functionally to understand Amazon's environmental programs and key metrics.

    You will be responsible for preparing for compliance with climate-related reporting under emerging regulations, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and required reporting based on the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) frameworks, and delivering Amazon's regulatory reports in a rapidly evolving global environment. This will involve establishing external reporting processes, assessing and collecting key metrics from partner teams, resolving reporting decisions, and drafting disclosures. You will work cross-functionally with Worldwide Sustainability, Legal, Finance, and Accounting and will present results to senior leadership.

    To do well in this role, you must be able to confidently handle complex projects and provide a point of view in situations of high ambiguity.

    About Company

    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.
