The candidate should have the ability to handle a wide range of security requirements and can translate those requirements into operational processes and procedures for cloud computing.

The position will be responsible for coordinating the security of external party engagements to highlight areas of interest, flag opportunities for stronger security practices, and facilitating discussions with our leadership to address our security direction. If you enjoy working in an environment with rapidly changing threat scenarios on the cutting edge of information security, this position will provide you with a challenging opportunity.

You will be expected to be strong in multiple domains and provide significant contributions to the AWS Security team and to multiple client groups throughout Amazon Web Services.

This role will provide career growth opportunities as the technical program managers to gain new security skills in the course of your duties and working with fellow world-class technologists.

Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren’t focused on how many hours you spend at work or online.
