 * Lead a team building and rolling out identity and access management capabilities across global regions.
 * Proactively partner across business groups and security partners inside Amazon, building and running cross-functional projects that implement secure systems and security controls at scale.
 * Drive Amazon"s growing footprint across Cloud IDPs (e.g. Azure AD/Entra ID), bringing deep systems and domain experience in these platforms.
 * Build Infrastructure as Code and DevOps tooling to drive efficiency and quality across the directory service.
 * Create and evolve enterprise infrastructure and security standards, and ensure systems adhere to them.
 * Review and implement system changes using thorough test plans, and drive operational excellence for services your team owns.
 * Translate security recommendations into business terms (and vice versa), and regularly brief Amazon leadership on security posture and initiatives.
 * Make sound two-way-door decisions under pressure, with the backbone to safeguard Amazon"s systems, and the ownership to see decisions through.
 * Proactively work across different business groups and security partners in Amazon, and build/run cross-functional projects.
