A day in the life
As a Compliance Specialist on the RISC Legal team, you will be responsible for monitoring and supervising the implementation of product regulatory compliance controls that impact the products sold in Amazon's online US store. It's a high judgment position that requires nimbleness and insistence upon very high standards. You will engage with several internal and external stakeholders to drive initiatives to completion. Compliance Specialists are responsible for specific compliance categories that are either product-specific or regulation-specific (i.e., requirements that span multiple categories).

About the team
RISC Legal's mission is to maximize customer trust and lawful product selection while minimizing unlawful selection, product regulatory risk to Amazon, and negative value actions on customer trust. Our vision is to run a compliance program where customers have no concerns that the products they buy are safe, legitimate, and compliant with the laws that impact them. We help selling partners solve their compliance challenges in a low friction, low cost manner. We want regulators to trust and appreciate Amazon's product compliance engagement model and program.
