• Participate in efforts to promote security throughout the company and build good working relationships with partner security teams and service teams across Amazon
• Demonstrate high capacity for managing priorities appropriately while remaining productive and effective, with tolerance for context switching and interruptions
• Escalate issues early and often, expressing a high degree of security judgement when issues are not progressing at the correct pace based on impact to ensure we are putting customers first.
