Description

Lead Amazon's Pay Equity Analytics & Compliance (PEAC) Program as we establish a world-class Center of Excellence for pay equity and transparency compliance. This is a rare opportunity to build something transformational from the ground up—leading Amazon's global response to rapidly evolving pay transparency legislation while protecting the company from significant regulatory and reputational risks.

As Senior Manager of our Risk & Compliance team, you'll be the strategic architect behind scalable compliance mechanisms that impact hundreds of thousands of employees. You'll regularly advise senior leadership across People (PXT), Legal, and Business teams on complex compliance strategy and trade-offs, with your decisions directly shaping Amazon's approach to pay equity globally.

Ready to build the future of pay equity compliance at global scale? Join us in London and help Amazon raise the bar for employee experience while navigating the most complex regulatory environment in employment law.

About the team
We're a close-knit London-based team that turns complex regulatory puzzles into elegant solutions—and has a great time doing it. We debate, celebrate, and collaborate; and genuinely enjoy working together.

Our team thrives on the energy that comes from tackling problems no one has solved before, supporting each other, and sharing both our victories and our "learning moments" along the way.
