Sustainability Program Manager

Amazon Web Services (AWS) • Singapore • Added on Oct 29, 2026
Apply →

This role coordinates sustainability reporting across APAC, preparing AWS teams for mandatory disclosures and turning changing rules into a clear program. It connects regional policy developments with the information and decisions needed across a large, distributed business.

The work centers on the accountability behind cloud infrastructure: reporting on energy efficiency, water use and carbon-free energy, while keeping pace with different regulatory expectations across Asia-Pacific. Clear, credible communication matters because technical operating data must support disclosures that are understandable to regulators and other stakeholders.

This suits someone who can combine program delivery and regulatory analysis, work confidently with data, and explain technical sustainability topics to varied audiences. Experience across APAC frameworks, multiple jurisdictions or government engagement would be especially relevant.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The role appears to own APAC sustainability reporting readiness, including coordinating inputs for mandatory energy and sustainability disclosures and tracking progress toward reporting requirements. It also monitors policy and standards developments across the region and translates their implications into guidance for AWS teams. A further focus is turning technical information on energy efficiency, water use, carbon-free energy and infrastructure into clear, decision-ready messaging. The longer-term goal is to establish reporting processes that can work across jurisdictions and respond to changing requirements.

Key learning opportunities for this job

The position could deepen expertise in APAC sustainability and energy regulations, disclosure frameworks, and the practical differences between reporting requirements across jurisdictions. Working with technical information on data center infrastructure may also build familiarity with energy efficiency, water use and carbon-free energy topics. The cross-functional and senior-leadership exposure could develop program management, regulatory interpretation and concise communications skills. The posting does not specify formal training or certifications, so development would likely come chiefly through regional reporting work, collaboration and mentorship within AWS.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The posting asks for a bachelor's degree and at least five years of program or project management and regulatory or risk management experience. Familiarity with APAC sustainability or energy frameworks, advanced Excel and SQL are specifically relevant to the work described. A strong candidate would be comfortable coordinating varied stakeholders, managing deadlines and presenting results to senior leaders. Clear writing about technical or scientific subjects is valuable; experience with government bodies, multiple jurisdictions or fluency in Japanese is a preferred advantage rather than a stated requirement.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Use examples that show how you took a regulatory requirement from interpretation through delivery, especially across more than one APAC jurisdiction. Explain your role in coordinating data owners, checking reporting readiness and communicating outcomes to senior leaders. Include concrete evidence of advanced Excel and SQL use, and describe how you have converted technical energy or sustainability information into accurate, accessible messages. If relevant, name the frameworks and government or regulatory bodies you have worked with; Japanese fluency is worth identifying clearly.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The role's direct sustainability focus is regional disclosure and regulatory readiness, rather than ownership of operational emissions reduction projects. Its reporting scope explicitly includes energy efficiency, water usage, carbon-free energy and infrastructure. By interpreting policy developments and guiding teams on requirements, the position could help AWS maintain consistent, credible sustainability information across APAC markets. The posting indicates a connection to standards and stakeholder expectations, but does not specify particular targets or named reporting frameworks.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

Requirements may differ across APAC jurisdictions and change while reporting plans are underway. The role would need to interpret those developments promptly, distinguish binding obligations from emerging expectations, and coordinate accurate input from teams with different priorities. Another challenge is explaining complex infrastructure and sustainability data in language that is both accessible and credible. Tight deadlines and ambiguity are explicitly noted, while the scale of a global cloud business could add coordination demands.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A typical day could involve reviewing policy updates from APAC markets, assessing what they mean for reporting plans and organizing follow-up with relevant AWS teams. The role may also check reporting progress and use Excel or SQL to examine or structure information. Time could be spent refining explanations of energy, water or carbon-free energy topics, preparing decision-ready messages, and sharing progress with senior leaders or regional stakeholders. The mix would likely shift as deadlines and regulatory developments change.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

The role could build a strong combination of sustainability reporting, regulatory analysis and regional program management experience. Exposure to multiple APAC requirements and technical infrastructure topics may support later specialization in disclosure strategy, energy policy or sustainability compliance. Cross-functional work and communication with senior leaders could also prepare someone for broader regional program ownership. The posting mentions mentorship and career resources at AWS, but does not define a specific promotion path or formal credential.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

Likely partners include AWS teams responsible for sustainability, energy, infrastructure, legal or regulatory matters, and the data owners supplying disclosure inputs. The role would guide other AWS teams on regional requirements and coordinate their contributions to reporting. Senior leaders are also named as an audience for communicating results. Depending on the jurisdiction and project, external stakeholders could include government officials, regulatory bodies and groups whose signals inform policy or reporting expectations.
