Job description
Senior Assurance Consultant within Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Assurance Services (SAS) based in Dubai, operating within AWS EMEA, responsible for delivering scalable security assurance solutions, governance risk and compliance (GRC) advisory, and cloud security compliance enablement for enterprise customers migrating workloads to AWS cloud environments. The role focuses on operationalizing the shared responsibility model, enabling customers to meet regulatory and compliance requirements while securing cloud workloads at scale. The consultant works with enterprise customers, AWS internal engineering teams, partners, and stakeholders to design and implement compliance automation, risk management frameworks, and security assurance strategies aligned with standards such as NIST 800-53, GDPR, PCI-QSAC, and HITRUST. Responsibilities include leading teams in security assurance engagements, translating complex regulatory requirements into scalable AWS-based security solutions, conducting deep-dive compliance and risk analysis, producing audit-ready evidence of control effectiveness, and advising executives on enterprise risk management strategies. The role involves hands-on security assessment across cloud infrastructure, operating systems, applications, and network environments, as well as supporting automated compliance solutions in AWS environments. The consultant contributes to AWS product and engineering roadmaps through customer insights, participates in strategic presentations, and supports customers in migrating sensitive and regulated workloads securely to the cloud. The position also requires collaboration across business units, delivering insights on security posture, compliance gaps, and risk mitigation strategies, while ensuring alignment with AWS security standards, DevOps, Agile, and CI/CD-driven environments. Travel to customer sites may be required and the role emphasizes thought leadership in cloud security, compliance transformation, and risk governance within global enterprise environments.
