    Job Description

    Assignment Manager

    Help Amazon"s global talent thrive through our Workforce Solutions - Assignments team! As part of this specialized organization, you"ll serve as the trusted Amazon lead for employees and families navigating international assignments - high-impact, life-changing moves that directly enable Amazon"s global growth. In this role, you"ll apply deep international mobility expertise to guide senior employees and business leaders through complex assignment decisions. Your work ensures that every assignment is structured to deliver value to the business while providing high-touch support for the employee and their family. We"re seeking an experienced assignment professional who combines subject-matter depth with strong relationship skills and sound judgment under ambiguity.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Serve as the primary Amazon lead for international assignment cases, owning the end-to-end employee and manager experience from pre-offer consultation through assignment closure
    • Apply deep international mobility expertise - relocation, tax, assignment benefits, and cross-border compliance - to advise employees, managers, and HR partners on assignment feasibility and structure
    • Conduct business strategy consultations, employee and family needs assessments, and personalized country guidance that enable informed assignment decisions before commitments are made
    • Present assignment and repatriation offers, explain benefits packages, coordinate pre-acceptance tax briefings, and facilitate offer negotiations and approvals
    • Resolve cross-functional blockers, partner-team conflicts, and vendor performance issues that require senior judgment or escalation authority
    • Interpret policy, evaluate exceptions, and make judgment calls on non-standard situations - serving as the subject-matter authority for the team
    • Review assignment business outcomes at closure - documenting role continuity, knowledge transfer, market impact, and sponsor-reported value to build the program"s return-on-investment narrative

    A day in the life

    You will advise senior business leaders on whether a proposed international assignment is feasible - weighing timelines, tax implications, family circumstances, and business urgency to provide a clear recommendation and a holistic, structured plan. You"ll present complex offer packages, coordinate across Relocation, Immigration, Tax, Benefits, Compensation, and vendor partners to keep cases moving, and step in to resolve issues that require senior judgment or escalation authority. You"ll also mentor Assignment Specialists, provide coverage guidance on complex case scenarios, and contribute subject-matter expertise to program-level improvements.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
