TRC is looking for a Principal Risk Manager to drive Amazon's Department of Transportation (DOT) regulatory compliance and audit response strategy. The ideal candidate will be an entrepreneurial, innovative leader who can deliver best-in-class regulatory compliance programs. This individual can digest regulatory requirements, set a vision, drive alignment with cross-functional leaders, and develop scalable processes that bring the vision to light.

In executing this role, the Principal Risk Manager (PRM) will partner with several internal departments serving all of Amazon's transportation fleets (e.g. Last Mile, Middle Mile, Amazon Air, etc.). You will have a key role in guiding their regulatory priorities, policies, and technology solutions. In doing so, the PRM will employ subject matter expertise, strong judgement, calculated risk-taking, data-backed analysis, and bench-marking from industry experts.

As a regulatory leader, the PRM will set a high bar for regulatory accuracy, and show bias for action in developing creative solutions to improve Amazon's compliance. You will be at the cutting edge of legislative developments, and look around corners for potential opportunities or obstacles relevant to Amazon's fleets. You will analyze gaps in the company's infrastructure and propose solutions.

As a team member, you will help foster an inclusive environment, support your peers and help grow the careers of junior risk managers through mentorship. You will earn trust with business partners and external groups in order to advocate for safety and compliance for our end customers.
