Lead, Licensing & Regulatory Affairs – Europe, Amazon Leo Global Licensing - EMEA

Amazon Kuiper Services Europe SARL, UK Branch

Description

We seek a regulatory leader who can navigate Europe's complex telecommunications landscape and secure the licenses that will enable us to connect millions of consumer, business, government, and mobile customers with satellite broadband.

As Lead, Licensing & Regulatory Affairs for Europe, you will own the development and execution of the licensing strategy across the region—from securing satellite earth station authorizations and electronic communications service compliance to shaping NGSO‑related regulations at national, regional (e.g., CEPT), and international (e.g., ITU) levels. You will turn complex compliance challenges into competitive advantages for the near future and beyond.

• Develop and execute licensing plans across European countries, securing authorizations for satellite systems, gateway stations, user equipment, spectrum use, and service provision.
• Engage with regulators, trade associations, and industry stakeholders to advocate for favourable policies related to NGSO systems, spectrum access, and space sustainability and safety.
• Identify regulatory risks before they become blockers, maintain compliance across jurisdictions, and work cross‑functionally with business, legal, policy, and engineering teams to deliver Kuiper services at scale.
• Represent Amazon Leo in national and regional telecommunications organizations, building relationships with government officials and coordinating with the broader International Regulatory team.
• This position may require access to information, technology, or hardware subject to export control laws (EAR, ITAR). Employment is contingent upon obtaining any required export licenses or approvals from the United States government.

Our team is instrumental in bringing broadband connectivity to communities that need it most, working with advanced satellite technology while navigating one of the world’s most complex regulatory environments.

You will report to the Head of Licensing & International Regulatory Affairs – EMEA and collaborate with global teams defining the future of satellite communications.

• Experience related to spectrum management, securing licenses for the provision of telecommunications services, and ensuring regulatory compliance at an international level.
• Experience with satellite and/or telecommunications network licensing, particularly NGSO systems.
• Bachelor’s degree in telecommunications or a related field.
• Strong analytical and communication skills—able to translate technical, business, and policy requirements into regulatory strategies.

• Experience working directly with government officials and regulatory bodies.
• Experience coordinating between technical teams, peers, and business stakeholders.
• Experience completing complex tasks quickly with little guidance and reacting with appropriate urgency to situations requiring a quick turnaround.
• Experience with ITU Radio Regulations, WRC preparations, or European regional telecommunications organizations (e.g., CEPT).
• Fluency in European languages in addition to English.
• Engineering background.
