Our ideal candidate will have extensive work experience in law enforcement, discretion in handling confidential and critical information, and the interpersonal skills needed to navigate, grow and optimize efforts in a high-tech, fast pace, physical environment. This candidate also understands that supporting their people is one of the most critical roles they perform, to achieve this they are open and approachable, and have a bias for action.
Our positive and supportive culture encourages our people to do their best work every day. We have 16 leadership principles that help guide us in our every-day decision making process. We believe they are a clearer articulation of those things that have always been a part of what makes Amazon great – things that we must consciously hold on to in fulfilling our mission to be Earth’s Most Customer Centric Company.
