DESCRIPTION
Embrace the challenge and accelerate your growth with Amazon’s International Public Policy and Government Affairs Team. The Head of Public Policy for South Africa 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. Like our business interests, our policy issues are broad, forward-thinking, and driven by what is best for our customers. 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 South Africa you will lead our work with policymakers and non-governmental groups in support of our consumer-centric business model within South Africa. You will have an astute understanding of the public policy and regulatory environment as well as the key stakeholders within it. You will coordinate across Amazon’s business, locally and globally, to develop and implement positioning and engagement strategies. You will also provide support to Amazon businesses in West Africa, on an as-needed basis.
You will lead external advocacy efforts, outreach programs, partnerships, and initiatives in support of these business objectives. You will coordinate Amazon’s engagement with relevant industry associations and wider coalitions, and manage consultancy support.
