Senior Risk Analyst, AWS Sustainability Controllership
Description
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.
