Amazon's Security & Privacy Regulatory Enablement (SPRe) team is the regulatory enablement engine for Amazon's security, privacy, and AI compliance assurance needs. We take any new regulatory requirement from initial publication to demonstrated compliance across three domains — Security, Privacy, and AI — using a repeatable, scalable operating model (Anticipate → Enable → Assure).
We are seeking an self-motivated Regulatory Assurance Specialist with a strong background spanning both Information Security and Privacy compliance. This individual will deliver external audits and regulatory examinations across security and privacy domains, working across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks. The role demands someone who can operate with equal confidence in a payments audit environment as in a DMA or GDPR compliance assessment — applying domain-agnostic assurance methodology across both disciplines.
Your work directly impacts Customer Trust in Amazon by ensuring that regulated services demonstrate compliance to external regulators, auditors, and supervisory authorities across all domains.
