Job summary

AWS is seeking a Security Assurance specialist who will own strategic engagements with regulators and regulated customers on the issue of data protection and privacy in Asia. The position is based in Singapore, but will require regular travel.

If you have a deep understanding of privacy and data protection and you are passionate about building and sustaining trust with our customers, then this role is for you.

You will think big, having accountability for data protection and privacy engagements in Asia, but you will sustain a bias for action and attention to detail that drives continuous rapid improvement. You will have a desire to learn and understand the complexities of legal, regulatory and compliance requirements across all sectors of your region. And you'll translate that understanding to teams in engineering, operations, audit, policy, legal and sales.

You'll recognise that success and value in security is measured by the pace of innovation, and the safe management of risk. You'll aspire to change the experience of privacy assurance to be more valuable and frictionless for all of our customers.

You will be comfortable supporting engagement with regulator and customer auditors, architects, security officers, lawyers and policy-makers. You will be proficient in understanding the diverse needs of regulators and government assurance agencies. You'll put the customer first, working at the centre of an extended team of specialists, program managers and engineers who are together working to earn and sustain the trust of our customers.

You will have a good understanding of cloud technologies, experience in security assurance and demonstrated success in driving innovative strategies to overcome obstacles.

If you are ready to bring all your experience, energy and talent to transform how the assurance of privacy and data protection in the cloud is experienced for our customers, then we'd like to hear from you.
