Insider Risk Manager Jobs in Everett, WA (NOW HIRING)

The Amazon Leo for Government (ALG) Industrial Security team designs, builds, and implements security assurance and compliance programs in line with formal National Industrial Security Program (NISP) requirements and U.S. Government directives (DoD, IC). We are seeking a Security Industry Specialist II to join a team of industry-leading security professionals who leverage deep expertise in government security compliance regimes to deliver assurance about the design and operational effectiveness of security controls across Amazon's classified operations.

This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance.

Key job responsibilities:

• Security Assurance & Compliance Program Execution
• Security Design & Accreditation
• Governance, Risk & Compliance Operations

A day in the life:

Your program security assurance/compliance strategy is defined by leadership; the design and process to execute it are not. You deliver with guidance, taking defined compliance objectives and designing the tactical processes to achieve them. Each day you drive timely decisions, make trade-offs between time, quality, and resources, and escalate appropriately when blockers emerge. You implement straightforward solutions to mitigate risk and overcome roadblocks with limited guidance, leveraging existing mechanisms to deliver security assurance.
