Global Road Safety is seeking a Principal, Transportation Risk Management to own the identification, assessment, and mitigation of all factors contributing to transportation risk across Amazon's global transportation system. This is an individual contributor role responsible for developing end-to-end solutions that address the full spectrum of transportation risk, and owning the Safety Management System (SMS) that governs how risk is identified, measured, controlled, and continuously improved.
You will develop both programmatic and technical solutions that proactively identify emerging risks and drive mitigation at scale. Operating at the intersection of safety science, data analytics, and AI-driven innovation, you will build the frameworks and mechanisms that ensure transportation risk is systematically managed across all modes and geographies. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role requiring a leader who can think big, influence across organizational boundaries, and translate complex risk into actionable strategies and scalable systems.
Key job responsibilities
Own the global transportation risk strategy, identifying systemic risks and developing mitigation roadmaps that balance operational velocity with safety outcomes. Serve as the enterprise SME for human factors and fatigue risk management, establishing standards, policies, and intervention frameworks grounded in scientific evidence. Design, implement, and continuously improve Safety Management Systems (SMS) aligned with industry best practices (e.g., ICAO SMS, ISO 39001, ANSI Z10). Leverage AI/ML and advanced data analytics to identify emerging risk patterns, predict incidents, and optimize resource allocation for risk reduction. Develop and scale both programmatic solutions (policies, training, behavioral programs) and technical solutions (technology interventions, engineering controls) across global operations. Build and maintain risk quantification models to measure residual risk, program effectiveness, and return on safety investment. Influence VP+ leadership through data-driven narratives, white papers, and risk briefings that drive resource allocation and strategic decision-making. Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Engineering, Legal, and Public Policy to embed risk management principles into new program launches and fleet expansion.
Establish mechanisms to monitor regulatory trends and industry developments in transportation safety, proactively adapting Amazon's risk posture.
