About the role

Role delivering mission-aligned security postures across Amazon space launch sites by conducting space-threat analyses, defining security requirements, and partnering with launch providers to embed threat-driven security practices throughout the mission lifecycle.

Responsibilities

  • Provide tailored analysis that combines space-domain knowledge with open-source data to forecast how threats translate into business impact for Amazon’s space program.
  • Identify, analyze, and mitigate security threats to the satellite constellation, launch sites, payload processing, and ground infrastructure.
  • Set strategy where it is undefined: define the business problem, set objectives, analyze data, and influence resource allocation and trade-offs across Leo and partner organizations.
  • Translate space-threat analyses into forward-looking security posture, mechanisms, and standards that partner teams adopt.
  • Develop per-campaign and per-mission threat profiles and integrate them into site security assessments and mission security plans.
  • Track evolving space-threat landscape and forecast business/operational impact over time.
  • Build repeatable mechanisms and processes to mitigate risk and increase security delivery speed and quality.
  • Advise senior leadership through written narratives and briefings to drive decisions.
  • Conduct competitive and commercial analysis of the space sector to anticipate risks to Amazon’s position.
  • Partner with export-control and industrial-security teams to ensure alignment with ITAR/EAR requirements.
  • Mentor and develop others in space-threat analysis and tradecraft.
  • Develop and maintain relationships with industry peers, government agencies, and space-security communities.

Qualifications

  • - 5+ years of program management, project management or product management experience
  • - 7+ years of experience in threat analysis, security analysis, or risk assessment within a government, critical-infrastructure, or highly-regulated sector, with direct experience in space, aerospace, defense, or national security.
  • - Demonstrated deep domain expertise in the space-security threat landscape — counter-space capabilities, threats to orbital and ground systems, and adversary targeting of commercial space operators.
  • - Demonstrated ability to provide tailored analysis combining space-domain knowledge with open-source data to forecast business and operational impacts.
  • - Experience working across an organization to define strategy, influence resource allocation, and lead execution on complex, cross-functional security programs.
  • - Experience distilling complex analysis into clear written narratives and briefings for senior leadership and executive audiences.
  • - Ability to travel up to 20% to support launch campaigns, site evaluations, and partner engagements at domestic and international locations.
  • - Bachelor’s degree in security management, homeland security, risk assessment, or related field.
