Amazon's Transportation Risk & Compliance (TRC) team identifies and mitigates risk in a rapidly growing and complex, global environment. To support the business, our primary mission is to perform independent and objective, risk-based assessments of Amazon business partners' activities and related controls with the goal of improving operations, compliance, risk management, and overall success of the program. We provide Audit & Monitoring (A&M) support of high-risk transportation risk topics to drive compliance across the transportation programs and influence business controls.
We are seeking an experienced professional in audit, risk, controls, governance and program management, to join our Australia (AU) TRC Last Mile (LM) Field Operations (FO) team, to lead and execute Audit & Monitoring (A&M) across AU LM transportation programs.

You will be expected to apply risk and control concepts to new and existing business models, clearly and concisely communicate identified findings to carrier partners, and internally report audit results in a timely and effective manner. You will provide carriers with consultative support to identify opportunities for improvement, develop corrective action plans to address audit defects, and manage those remediation plans to closure. You will also work collaboratively with the operations, business, safety, legal, public policy, finance, and tech teams to implement world-class, customer-centric, compliance and risk management solutions. To bring in best practices and learning, you'll also work with and learn from colleagues globally.
This is a small but growing team, meaning you'll play an instrumental role in developing the function, defining and developing the value that we offer to our business partners, and how we achieve strategic goals, in a business which continues to grow rapidly.

Manage relationships with cross functional stakeholders internal and external to Amazon
