About this role
Description
Amazon is looking for a Manager of Governance Communications to lead how we communicate about all of Amazon’s governance activities. This includes our public filings (shareholder letter, proxy, and other filings), the annual shareholder meeting, and the broader work of Amazon’s Legal organization.
You’ll bring a solid grounding in corporate communications, along with strong financial and business acumen. You understand how legal and regulatory processes work, and you’ve done this kind of communications work at a publicly traded company before. You enjoy a fast-moving, dynamic environment, and you have a history of delivering results. Above all, you think and write clearly. You can take complicated, technical subject matter, form a point of view on it, and turn it into a sharp, well-written narrative that gets the idea across.
This role works closely with people across the company – Communications, Legal, Investor Relations, Finance, and more.
Key job responsibilities
Own the governance communications strategy end to end – build it, run it, and report on how it’s going.
Shape how Amazon talks about its legal and corporate governance work. You’ll weigh in on strategy for public-facing materials, handle media inquiries, monitor and understand how media is covering Amazon, and write content.
Lead communications on Amazon’s annual regulatory filings – the proxy, the shareholder letter, etc. You’ll work closely with legal and Investor Relations, owning the comms plan, advising on content, writing content, and managing media inquiries and coverage.
Help plan and run the annual shareholder meeting. You’ll manage logistics, own media attendance, team up with Executive Communications to prep our leaders, and field media inquiries and coverage.
Manage external speaking engagements for the Legal team.
Partner with Financial Communications on financial filings, such as quarterly and annual earnings, especially as they relate to legal filings.
Stay curious about AI and bring a working knowledge of AI tools to your work.
