Job summary
AWS Trust & Safety (T&S) is a global team that helps protect against abusive use of AWS services while simultaneously working to build trust with AWS’s customers, partners, and other stakeholders. T&S engages with a variety of stakeholders to understand cloud infrastructure-related trust and safety issues, develop fit-for-purpose frameworks to assess and minimize risks for AWS’s customers, and develop guidelines and processes for responding to trust and safety issues. Our team members display a solid understanding of AWS’s cloud infrastructure, strong technical knowledge, and the ability to exercise sound judgment on complex and time-sensitive matters.
The Emerging Risks Program Manager will work with the leaders across Trust & Safety to identify, research and contextualize emerging risks in the cloud computing and online safety space. You will dive deep on understanding cloud infrastructure, combine that understanding with information about emerging abuse trends, and finally assess the impact of those trends on AWS, our customers and the work the Trust & Safety team does. You will help to lead T&S efforts to raise the bar on early abuse prevention and mitigation and your strategic thinking, analytical abilities, and stakeholder management skills will be put to practical use to ensure preparedness for risk incidents across T&S.
The ideal candidate will understand the role of trust and safety in cloud infrastructure, have experience developing trust and safety risk programs, be able to distill data and information from a variety of sources, assess emerging threats and external situations, and recommending areas of improvement. This is an inherently cross-functional role that requires close collaboration with T&S leadership, T&S Operations counterparts, AWS services, and cross-functional partners.

- Drive high-impact and highly cross-functional initiatives while simultaneously tracking a set of smaller projects.
- Demonstrated strong project management skills — driving goal setting and efficient performance.
This role is supporting cloud computing customers of Amazon, so the individual will have to demonstrate a technology affinity to be successful.
