Senior Risk Manager – Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition (ECGT) Directive
We're seeking an experienced Sr. Risk Manager to lead the ECGT Directive program within Amazon's Regulatory Intelligence, Safety, and Compliance (RISC) organization across the European Union. This strategic role sits within our Sustainability team, driving our commitment to responsible business practices and environmental leadership. ECGT sits at the intersection of product, traceability, digitalization, and sustainability — where much of future EU regulatory build is taking shape.
This is a unique opportunity to own a mission-critical initiative with direct visibility to senior leadership. You'll shape how Amazon empowers consumers by eliminating greenwashing, preventing premature product obsolescence, and ensuring transparent information on product durability and reparability.
You'll orchestrate cross-functional collaboration across different Tech teams, Legal, Operations, Public Policy, and Business, gaining deep insights into Amazon's complex EU ecosystem. Success in this role requires exceptional judgment to navigate ambiguity and make high-stakes decisions independently, combined with strong stakeholder management skills to align diverse teams toward common goals. This high-impact role offers full autonomy to design innovative compliance solutions and engage directly with senior leadership.
If you're energized by regulatory compliance, sustainability, and large-scale transformation, this role offers the visibility and impact you're seeking.
Key job responsibilities
• Lead the strategic direction of the ECGT program, making autonomous decisions to ensure regulatory compliance while optimizing seller experience across European marketplaces
• Design and implement end-to-end processes, orchestrating multiple workstreams across specialized teams to deliver scalable solutions
• Own executive-level reporting and communication, directly engaging with senior leadership to drive strategic decisions
• Monitor program KPIs, leveraging data analytics to drive continuous improvement
• Identify opportunities for technological innovation and process optimization to enhance food information transparency
