About this role

Sr. Industry Specialist, AWS Security & Risk Compliance Arlington, Virginia, USA At AWS, Security is priority zero. As part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security team, we are looking for an experienced Senior Security Industry Specialist who is passionate about transforming how AWS identifies, evaluates, and resolves security compliance risk. As part of the Risk and Compliance Remediation (RCR) team within AWS Compliance Security Assurance, you'll serve as a strategic compliance risk advisor, providing opinionated risk evaluations and driving proactive remediation strategies that eliminate systemic security compliance risks before they reach auditors, customers, or regulators. This role requires deep expertise in security compliance frameworks (SOC, PCI, ISO, NIST, FedRAMP), audit standards, and the ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into actionable risk mitigation strategies. You'll work across AWS organizations to influence remediation priorities, own risk acceptance frameworks, and advise senior leadership on compliance posture. Key job responsibilities In this role, you will: • Provide opinionated, defensible risk evaluations of security compliance findings in partnership with audit program managers, determining when to remediate, deflect, negotiate with auditors, or recommend risk acceptance • Advise Directors and VPs on compliance risk posture, including how concerned leadership should be and how hard to push prioritization on remediation efforts • Develop and maintain the risk acceptance framework, documenting rationale, escalation thresholds, and leadership communication for accepted risks, with structured tracking of outcomes over time • Serve as theme owner for compliance framework and process root, identifying systemic patterns across recurring findings and driving interventions
