Description

Are you passionate about simplifying complex systems and driving meaningful impact on a global scale? Join our Global Trade Services (GTS) team to transform the way products navigate international regulatory environments. We’re looking for a strategic thinker and builder; someone who can help develop scalable, tech-enabled solutions to ensure seamless and compliant product movement across borders.

This is more than a compliance role: it's a chance to redefine how trade classification and regulatory risk management operate at scale at Amazon.

• Develop Strategic Frameworks:
  Define global strategies to meet diverse regulatory requirements across countries and product categories.
• Design Scalable Systems:
  Build mechanisms to operationalize classification and compliance processes across millions of products.

  Use data-driven insights to optimize trade compliance processes and remove operational friction.
• Risk Mitigation Through Measurement:
  Build systems that proactively identify and address regulatory risks through metrics and automation.

Every day will be different—but here’s what you might expect:

• Partnering with policy teams, tech, and legal stakeholders to develop innovative classification strategies
• Leading strategy sessions to define the future of product classification for global trade
• Evaluating the regulatory impact of new product launches or country expansions
• Driving simplification by automating legacy manual processes
