Program Manager II, Workplace Health and Safety Audit

Amazon's Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) Audit team keeps our associates safe by making sure every operation meets rigorous safety standards. We are looking for a Program Manager II to support the Americas audit program - participating in and leading audits, guiding peer auditors, and tracking findings through to resolution. In this role you will work alongside the WHS standards team, operations leaders, and third-party auditors as an ISO 45001 Lead Auditor certified professional, conducting audits within our ISO 9001 certified audit program. You will gather and interpret audit data, spot trends, and recommend practical improvements that make a real difference for the associates who power Amazon's operations. If you are detail-oriented, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and motivated by work that directly protects people, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities

• Support the Americas WHS audit program by helping define scope, tracking milestones, monitoring progress, and flagging risks to keep audit delivery on schedule.
• Participate in and lead internal audits, guide peer auditors, and assist with training that raises the quality and consistency of audit execution across the region.
• Gather and analyze audit data and performance metrics to identify trends, surface compliance gaps, and recommend improvements to operations WHS partners and early intervention teams.
• Partner with the WHS standards team and approved third-party auditors to maintain a continuous feedback loop, help manage statements of work, and monitor changing regulations to keep audit plans current.
• Explore and apply AI and automation tools to improve audit process flows, streamline data analysis, and increase the efficiency of reporting and tracking across the program.

A day in the life

You might start your morning reviewing audit findings with a peer auditor you are coaching, then join a call with the standards team to discuss how recent results should inform an upcoming policy update. After lunch you could be on-site conducting an audit, walking the floor with local safety staff to verify corrective actions from a previous cycle. Later in the day you will pull together trend data for a regional summary, flag items that need attention, and coordinate next steps with operations partners to close open findings.

About the team

The WHS Audit team sits within Amazon's Workplace Health and Safety, Governance and External Affairs organization. Our audit program is ISO 9001 certified, and we expect all Program Managers to hold ISO 45001 Lead Auditor certification. We are responsible for internal audits, regulatory compliance audits, and data verification audits across Amazon's global operations. Our closest partners include the WHS standards team, operations safety leaders, and early intervention teams. We are expanding our audit programs and investing in continuous improvement, so this is a great time to join a team where your contributions will be visible and your growth supported.
