Risk Manager, Account Compliance SAM Expansions Manager

Amazon • Seattle, WA • 10h ago

Description

Are you looking for a new challenge in a fast-paced, innovative company? Join the compliance team supporting our rapidly growing and evolving payments business, and help us make history!

We are looking for a strong Risk Manager to drive the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Suspicious Activity Monitoring Controls program. You can influence without authority and skilled at communications across levels and functions. You are always looking to improve processes and are reflective on improving your own processes. You measure effectiveness and you make us better month over month. You are a relationship builder who cares passionately about the customer and how we deliver value each day.

The right candidate will possess a solid understanding AML and transaction monitoring combined with a strong business and project management background. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in and get the job done, and provide recommendations to speed key decisions. The candidate should also have a track record of timely delivery of large-scale projects, and have the ability to operate independently.

In this role, you will work closely with the legal, business, product, operations, and engineering teams on effective risk mitigation countermeasures to ensure continued safety and compliance for Amazon. This senior leader will leverage their knowledge of regulations, their insight into industry standards, and their experience in risk assessment and mitigation to create and influence policies and strategies.

Key job responsibilities

You will leverage your deep AML experience to drive large-scale efforts to ensure adherence with regulations. You will translate high level requirements into straight-forward solutions, often inventing new ones. We are looking for a critical thinker who is also technically adept and thrives on solving challenges in partnership with teams across Amazon. You should be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity that's higher than many programs and display high levels of bias for action, earning trust, and ownership.

This position will be responsible for the following activities:

· Lead Suspicious Activity Monitoring Controls program by developing transaction monitoring strategies based on applicable business and compliance objectives and risks.

· Oversee Suspicious Activity Monitoring controls development and performance.

· Drive strategic projects across business and technical teams and effectively report to senior Compliance leadership on progress.

· Assess and communicate risk posture to the senior management, Compliance Officers, legal, and business stakeholders.

· Work with product, engineering, and analytics teams on development of new solutions to enable compliance at scale.

A day in the life
