At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people.

The Worldwide Sustainability (WWS) organization capitalizes on Amazon’s scale and speed to build a more resilient and sustainable company. We manage our social and environmental impacts globally, and drive solutions that enable our customers, businesses, and the world to become more sustainable.

• Work with external partners to source replenishment projects for 10-15 watersheds per year
• Manage relationships with existing partners and ensure that projects deliver sustainable benefits for targeted watersheds
• Track project pipeline for replenishment projects in targeted watersheds
• Work with internal teams to complete contracting and payment processes for all projects
