The Head of Public Policy for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) will join a growing and dynamic team that works across Europe, Middle East, Africa, India and Asia-Pacific, in support of Amazon’s global consumer and digital businesses.

The International Public Policy team works with a wide range of national, local, and supranational policymakers, industry organizations, and non-governmental organizations across numerous policy issues spanning the consumer and commercial environment.
As the Head of Public Policy for KSA, you will lead our work with policymakers and non-governmental groups in support of our consumer-centric business model within KSA.
