Amazon’s Last Mile legal team is seeking a talented compliance specialist to support our rapidly growing and evolving Last Mile logistics teams. Amazon’s goal is to exceed the expectations of all our customers by ensuring that their orders, no matter how large or small, are delivered where and when they need them, as quickly, accurately, and safely as possible. To meet this goal, Amazon’s Last Mile logistics teams continually strive to innovate and provide best in class service through pioneering new products, programs, and services. The Last Mile legal team supports these efforts by providing practical legal advice, developing scalable compliance mechanisms, and helping the business to inspect their programs and look around corners to manage risk proactively.
Key job responsibilities
As the Last Mile legal compliance specialist, you will partner with business-line attorneys to define practical legal compliance requirements for Amazon’s Last Mile business programs (including Amazon Logistics and the Delivery Service Partner program). You will then partner with the relevant business teams to address those requirements by developing and implementing scalable compliance mechanisms, which might include written guidance materials, training programs, standard operating procedures, internal audits, and other review processes. When compliance gaps or other risks are identified, you will work with legal and business stakeholders to identify root causes, develop practical recommendations to address gaps, and implement mechanisms to mitigate risks and avoid future issues. You will provide periodic reporting to legal and business leadership regarding compliance status and risk areas.

In this role you will be an integral part of Amazon’s Last Mile legal team and the broader Amazon Ops Legal teams. You will be based in Amazon’s Arlington, VA or Seattle, WA headquarters with legal colleagues in Arlington, Seattle, and New York, and business clients in corporate and field locations in the US and Canada.
