Senior Manager Risk, Law Enforcement Engagement, SOG, Law Enforcement Engagement SOG

You'll help build a global law enforcement engagement capability from scratch — designing the architecture that connects Amazon's security operations with policing agencies globally to disrupt organized crime at scale and create lasting purposeful symbiotic law enforcement relationships. As a LEE Leader for the Americas (Western Hemisphere), you will own the end-to-end law enforcement engagement strategy across the Americas. You are accountable for building the relationship architecture, engagement frameworks, and intelligence-sharing models that turn connections into a structured, institutionally-owned network. You'll be part of a team securing cross-functional dependencies with Legal, Finance, and GSOC, and represent Amazon at the highest levels of international law enforcement.

There is no existing playbook and no inherited structure. You will help define the operating model, and you enable field teams to execute, maintaining local relationships, acting as the bridge to support.

Key job responsibilities
Own the LEE strategy and operating model across the Americas (Western Hemisphere). Design and implement the three-tier relationship model (strategic, regional, local) across international jurisdictions, and build the Geographic Targeting Model to direct resources where loss, risk, and relationship gaps intersect. Deliver the priority-market heat map.

Design the LE Partnership Registry for the Americas — converting personal relationships into institutional, company-owned assets. Develop standardized engagement playbooks, MoU frameworks, and SLA-driven inbound request processes tailored to civil-law and common-law jurisdictions. Build legally compliant information-sharing models co-designed with Legal, and establish bidirectional intelligence protocols with GSOC.

Secure and maintain cross-functional dependencies across Legal, Finance, GSOC, Investigations, Public Policy, and ACS. Ensure formal deconfliction with Investigations across international markets.

Help onboard and develop regional STLs across the Americas (Western Hemisphere). Set the operating rhythm from weekly stand-ups to quarterly business reviews. Mentor team members ensuring role clarity and career progression.

Represent Amazon at the highest levels of domestic and international law enforcement — building executive relationships with Federal, State, and Local LE Agencies, Regional LE Agencies, LE Professional Organizations, and leading engagement with other industry bodies including TAPA, OPAL, and ASIS. Own governance oversight for the Americas (Western Hemisphere), ensuring alignment with WWOS-wide frameworks.


About the team
The LEE team sits within Amazon's Security Operations Group, building the institutional architecture that connects Amazon's security operations with law enforcement agencies across the Americas and international markets to disrupt organized crime targeting global logistics.

We believe relationships built in peacetime pay dividends in crisis. We deploy resources where data shows the greatest exposure, measure ourselves on outcomes — disrupted Mo's, asset recovery, threat disruption — not activity.

This is a team for builders. We are early-stage, high-ambition, and outcome-obsessed. You'll write the playbook, not inherit one.
