Licensing Specialist, Amazon Leo Global Licensing - EMEA

As a Licensing & Regulatory Affairs Specialist, you'll support the development and execution of the Amazon Leo licensing strategy across the region—from securing satellite earth station authorizations to electronic communications service compliance, and to shaping satellite communications regulations at national, regional (e.g., CEPT, ATU), and global (e.g., ITU) levels. You'll work closely with regulatory experts to convert complex compliance challenges into competitive advantages both in the near term and looking well into the future.

This position may require access to export-controlled information (ECI) subject to EAR and ITAR. Final employment decision is contingent upon satisfactory completion of export control screenings and obtaining any necessary export licenses or approvals, based on nationality, citizenship, and other factors considered by applicable export control regulations.
