DESCRIPTION

Work hard and make history with Amazon's International Public Policy team. The Head of Public Policy for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) will join a growing and dynamic team that works across Europe, Middle East, Africa, India and Asia-Pacific, in support of Amazon's global consumer and digital businesses.

You will coordinate Amazon's engagement with relevant industry associations and wider coalitions, and manage consultancy support. You will be able to manage and drive complex projects, and provide clear and confident guidance, including in situations of high ambiguity.
