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.

- Partnering with Sustainability Tech, FinTech, and Business teams to onboard applications and datasets to GRC platforms.
- Contributing to the development of scalable reporting tools, including controls and data quality dashboards, to improve efficiency and transparency across the program.
- Supporting compliance with emerging regulatory frameworks, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and other global disclosure requirements.
- Participating in Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews and cross-functional Meetings, providing clear and concise updates on workstream status and risk posture.
