There have been 9 jobs posted with the title of Senior Risk Analyst all time at Amazon.Location: Arlington, VA
Estimated salary: $102,000
Range: $74,200 - $129,800
Description
As a Senior Analyst on the Sustainability Controls Team, you will play a central role in designing, implementing, and operating controls across Amazon's sustainability reporting ecosystem. You will work across a portfolio of high-impact workstreams — from carbon emissions and waste to workforce metrics and building-level data — ensuring that data flowing into external disclosures meets the highest standards of accuracy and completeness.Why This Role Stands Out
- High-impact, high-visibility work: Your contributions will directly support Amazon's most important external sustainability disclosures, including the annual Sustainability Report and global regulatory reports.
- At the frontier of sustainability controllership: This is a relatively new and rapidly evolving space — you'll help shape how Amazon builds world-class controls for sustainability data, with the opportunity to define best practices from the ground up.
- Cross-functional collaboration: You'll work alongside teams spanning Finance, Technology, Legal, Public Relations, Marketing, and Sustainability — building a broad internal network and deep institutional knowledge.
- Innovation-forward environment: Our team is actively building AI-powered tools for GRC activities and next-generation dashboards to transform how sustainability controls are managed at scale.
- Career growth: The Sustainability Controls space is expanding rapidly in response to global regulatory requirements. This role positions you at the center of that growth, with clear pathways to take on greater scope and leadership.
- Mission-driven culture: You'll be part of a team that genuinely cares about getting sustainability data right — because accuracy in this space matters for the planet, not just the balance sheet.
Key job responsibilities
- Designing and executing process-level and data-level controls across key sustainability metrics, including Carbon, Waste, Water, Own Workforce, and Workplace Health & Safety.
- Supporting data reconciliation, consistency checks, and substantiation processes for metrics included in Amazon's annual Sustainability Report and regulatory filings.
- Partnering with Sustainability Tech, FinTech, and Business Unit Controllership Teams to onboard applications and datasets to GRC.
- Contributing to the development of scalable reporting tools, including a controls and data quality dashboard, 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 Business Reviews (MBRs) and cross-functional Controllership Meetings, providing clear and concise updates on workstream status and risk.
