• Monitor and assess the effectiveness of controls and collaborate with functional partners and business stakeholders on compliance validation, gap analyses, and process improvement.
• Stay abreast of changes to processes, understand risks and controls, identify potential control gaps, and drive the implementation of effective and efficient controls to address these gaps.
• Conduct regular assessments of import trade activities to identify compliance risks and implement corrective actions in collaboration with cross‑functional teams.
• Influence technology decisions to build tools that scale compliance mechanisms globally.
• Organize by coordinating timelines and owners across various teams, ensuring attention to detail and deadlines, and measuring and reporting progress and results.
• Deliver recommendations and risk interpretations in a clear, concise, and audience‑specific format.
• Collaborate with Amazon’s worldwide Compliance teams to establish and implement processes that ensure the products meet local regulatory requirements of destination importing countries through compliance, vendor engagement, and experience programs.
