Principal, GRS AMET/LATAM , WHS

We are seeking a dynamic, passionate self-starter as the Global Road Safety single-threaded leader for AMET/LATAM, specifically. This person will be the single road safety point of contact for those regions. This role ensuring the most accurate, timely and insightful incident data to enable Amazon to safely execute transportation operations and will also ensure they work with operations to identify and mitigate risks on road. Additionally, this role will ensure the organization exceeds its safety objectives through collecting, analyzing, and assessing information. Amazon is constantly innovating and our operations must evolve with the business to ensure we maintain the highest safety standards for our Associates, third party transportation providers, and the general public.

As an Independent Contributor, you will communicate directly with your partners, build audit/inspection protocols for our businesses, use metrics to evaluate risk control effectiveness, support qualitative and quantitative risk assessments, and knowledge of risk remediation/mitigation/control processes is strongly preferred. This role requires scoping large projects, managing project timelines, identifying safety gaps, and communicating to senior management on safety risks. Cross-team coordination, project management, executive presentation skills, a penchant for process improvement, and a proven history of delivering results are essential for success. A bias for action and comfort in dealing with ambiguity are a must. Often times it will not be clear how we will reach our end goal; you will be expected to help carve a path by taking risks and be willing to try new things, fail fast then iterate. Strong analytics and safety experience will be valued in an applicant.

This job will be based in the US, but will support countries in the LATAM (MX and BR) and AMET (SA, AE, EG, TK) regions. Up to 25% travel may be needed.
