Sr. Risk Preparedness Manager , Risk Preparedness

As a Senior Risk Preparedness Manager within WWOS Global Risk & Resilience (R&R), you will drive the strategic improvement of preparedness outcomes by designing lessons-learned frameworks, conducting cross-regional analysis, and translating post-exercise and post-event findings into methodology improvements. Reporting directly to the Risk Preparedness Lead, you will operate at the intersection of all R&R pillars — connecting Threat Evaluation and Risk Assessment (TERA), Risk Management, and Resilience findings to preparedness methodology. You will partner with the Strategic/Framework team and the Project Management Office (PMO) to ensure preparedness goals are reflected in OP1/OP2 planning and that all workstreams are coordinated across the pillar. This role is the strategic feedback engine that ensures preparedness improves continuously and remains connected to the broader R&R ecosystem. At Amazon, you'll work alongside the latest AI and GenAI tools that are increasingly woven into how teams operate: from AI-powered capabilities that accelerate decision-making, to Generative AI that helps you focus on work that truly matters. You'll have opportunities and resources to develop AI fluency at your own pace, with continuous learning built into the culture.
