Senior Manufacturing Environmental Program Integration Lead, Amazon Manufacturing Operations, Transportation Operations

About the role

The Senior Manufacturing Environmental Program Integration Lead will support AWS Manufacturing, Test, and Operations (MOTO) facilities. This role is critical to enabling AWS's growth globally and ensuring regulatory compliance and the highest-level environmental performance.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive the program strategy for MOTO Environmental compliance infrastructure, setting the roadmap for legal registers, EMS configuration, RACI governance, SOP library, and MBR/WBR reporting, and building organizational alignment around that strategy at senior leadership levels.

• Champion environmental program scalability within MOTO at the organizational level, advocating for and securing investment in systems and playbooks that grow with the organization.

• Operate independently in ambiguous, high-stakes program environments, defining the path forward when requirements are unclear, escalating and resolving issues at the appropriate level, and driving decisions without requiring escalation to senior leadership for routine program matters.

• Develop and own the strategic architecture for scalable environmental compliance infrastructure that supports rapid new site activations, including new-site environmental onboarding playbooks, pre-activation compliance checklists, and activation-to-steady-state transition frameworks.

• Create and maintain repeatable Manufacturing build playbooks covering environmental compliance milestones, permitting sequences, EMS setup procedures, waste program initialization, enabling each successive build phase to launch faster and with higher compliance confidence.

• Own and manage the Environmental Management System (EMS) integration, including site hierarchy configuration, data field architecture, compliance task setup, recurrence scheduling, assignment logic, and notification management.

• Manage training record architecture within EMS, configuring training curricula, completion tracking, and reporting for all MOTO environmental training programs.

• Serve as the system administrator and primary point of contact for EMS across the MOTO team, coordinating with platform vendors on configuration changes, upgrades, and issue resolution.

• Define the structure, scope, and maintenance cadence for the MOTO Environmental SOP library, including waste management procedures, emergency response plans, construction environmental monitoring protocols, and site activation checklists, and hold organizational accountability for library completeness and currency.

• Ensure all SOPs are reviewed on a defined cadence, updated to reflect regulatory changes, and versioned and distributed to applicable sites.

• Develop and maintain MOTO environmental vendor qualification criteria and procurement standards, including waste haulers, TSD facilities, third-party auditors, and environmental consultants, and manage the vendor qualification and periodic re-qualification process.

• Develop environmental procurement language standards and vendor qualification templates that can be applied to new vendors during site activations.

• Develop and maintain global environmental compliance templates, including emergency response plans, spill response protocols, construction environmental monitoring checklists, and training curriculum frameworks, that EMEA-EM, APAC-EM, and site-level PMs execute locally.

• Drive cross-functional integration between MOTO Environmental and Manufacturing Operations, Real Estate & Facilities, Legal, Supply Chain, and Sustainability teams, influencing without authority at senior levels to ensure environmental program infrastructure is aligned with organizational requirements and embedded in business processes.

• Interface with Global Environmental Programs to ensure MOTO program infrastructure is compatible with enterprise-level systems and reporting requirements, without duplicating scope.

• Collaborate with MOTO-ECPM and site-level PMs to identify infrastructure gaps that require SOP development, calendar updates, or EMS reconfiguration.

• Manage SmartSheet and other program tracking tools across the MOTO Environmental team, ensuring consistent visibility into program status, milestone completion, and action ownership.

• Establish and own a robust system for monitoring, measuring, and reporting performance of MOTO’s environmental program infrastructure, defining the metrics framework and reporting architecture, not just executing against it.

• Prepare and contribute to performance reports and recommendations for senior leadership on a regular MBR/WBR cadence.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of increasingly responsible roles in safety and/or environmental programs within manufacturing, production, service operations, or other relevant experience.
• Experience in environmental compliance and permitting, waste management, contractual, regulatory, and liability assessments, environmental permit evaluations and applications, EIAs and water discharge requirements.
• Experience developing and implementing environmental compliance programs including regulated waste, water, and air regulations in accordance with applicable laws.
• Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Occupational Health & Safety, or equivalent.
