The Worldwide Sustainability Regulatory Reporting team is seeking 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 prepare for compliance with climate-related reporting under emerging regulations, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) frameworks, and deliver Amazon’s regulatory reports in a rapidly evolving global environment.
