The Opportunity

Amazon’s Worldwide Sustainability Regulatory Reporting team is seeking a detail-focused, results-oriented and collaborative professional to support the company’s global sustainability disclosure processes.

The role will serve as the primary owner of ISSB reporting for all in-scope Amazon legal entities globally. The successful candidate will oversee the reporting process from determining applicable requirements and designing disclosure frameworks through data collection, drafting, internal review, external assurance and final senior leadership approval.

The position will also play an important role in strengthening Amazon’s sustainability reporting controls, data quality, audit readiness and regulatory reporting infrastructure.

What You'll Do

Serve as the primary drafter of ISSB-aligned disclosures across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring they meet the requirements of IFRS S1 and S2, including governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets.

Data Collection & Disclosure Management

Direct data collection from cross-functional owners and develop both narrative and quantitative sustainability disclosures.

Establish documented data lineage, evidence retention procedures, review processes and complete audit trails from source systems through to published metrics.

Assurance & Reporting Controls

Coordinate with external assurance providers to ensure disclosures meet limited and reasonable assurance readiness standards.

Sustainability Performance Analysis

Analyze sustainability performance against key goals and work with Finance, Accounting, Environment and Social Impact teams to develop performance narratives.

Process Improvement & Automation

Drive continuous improvements in sustainability reporting processes, including developing automation requirements for Amazon’s sustainability technology teams to increase efficiency and reduce control risks.

Regulatory & Stakeholder Engagement

Monitor sustainability reporting requirements across jurisdictions and engage with Amazon’s Public Policy team and national regulators on relevant regulatory developments.

Cross-functional Collaboration

Work closely with Worldwide Sustainability, Legal, Finance, Accounting and other teams to understand sustainability programmes, key metrics and reporting requirements.
