• Build and own cross-functional partnerships with Amazon Corporate Security (ACS), Data Center (DC) Security, HR, Employee Relations (ER), Legal, and security partners across AMER.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, and appropriately escalate risks, threats, and issues as required by applicable laws.

• Deliver and elevate the team's fact-based reports, assessments, and presentations to executive-level leadership.
• Set and drive operational excellence standards and continuous-improvement initiatives, including innovation through AI and emerging technologies.
• Own the regional approach to workplace violence prevention training, mitigation planning, and post-incident after-action reviews.
