Amazon is seeking a Risk Manager for the Source to Pay Operations, Risk, and Governance (SPORG) team within the Global Corporate Procurement (GCP) team.

The Risk Manager will be pivotal in overseeing Amazon-wide global teams that do not use Purchase Orders (POs) for their third-party spending.

  • Provide a framework to make sure that non-PO teams appropriately manage end-to-end risks in the order-to-pay process, make informed business decisions, and engage in effective remediation efforts.
  • Critically analyze non-PO processes and work with Amazon-wide global non-PO stakeholders to identify risks and develop mitigating controls.
  • Strive to implement an automated and scalable gating mechanism to oversee non-PO teams.
  • Drive mindful discussions to identify and develop strategies to influence non-PO stakeholders (finance, business, technology, and accounting teams) to self-manage and report risks.
  • Collaborate across cross-functional teams (finance, business, technology, and accounting) to continuously improve the POE program.
  • Implement execution mechanisms, including tracking goals, escalation, key program metrics, and forward-looking program needs.
