    Job Description

    Are you passionate about making every day better for the people who power Amazon Web Services (AWS)? As a Data Center Operations Site Human Resources Partner, you will be embedded in the Data Centers you support, serving as the voice of on-site employees and the strategic HR partner to site leadership. You will work across a cluster of Data Centers, visiting sites regularly to ensure every team member feels valued, engaged, and supported.

    This is a 100% on-site role where your adaptability, sound judgment, strategic thinking, and coaching skills will directly shape the employee experience. You will connect sentiment trends and HR data to operational goals, translate them into clear recommendations, and influence multiple levels of the organization without direct authority.

    Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Build trust through consistent on-site presence and site walks, proactively monitoring employee sentiment trends and serving as the first point of escalation for employee concerns while promoting an environment of inclusion.
    • Partner with Data Center leaders to develop proactive strategies focused on the employee experience, identify root causes using sentiment data and HR metrics, and provide site-level recommendations that drive leadership action.
    • Apply HR expertise across talent management, performance management, compensation, and employee relations - resolving complex cases independently, conducting workplace investigations, and building procedural standards such as standard operating procedures.
    • Consult, coach, and develop site leadership through decision-making grounded in empathy and sound judgment, identifying development opportunities through data analysis and on-site observation.
    • Collaborate with Human Resources Business Partners and Centers of Excellence (COEs) to implement HR strategies across your cluster of Data Centers, partnering on orientation, onboarding, and cross-functional people initiatives.

    A day in the life

    You will start your day with a site walk, engaging directly with employees to understand their experience and pick up on emerging themes. From there, you might review sentiment data to prepare recommendations for a leadership meeting, coach a site manager through a performance conversation, or partner with a COE on rolling out a new engagement initiative. You will also handle employee concerns as they arise, conduct investigations when needed, and own site-specific people projects that drive meaningful impact. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports; you lead through influence, mentorship, and cross-functional partnership.

    About the team

    The AWS Builder Experience Team is dedicated to creating an outstanding workplace for the employees who build and operate Amazon"s global cloud infrastructure. We focus on listening to our people, using data to drive action, and partnering closely with site leadership to continuously improve the on-site experience.

    Our team operates across a network of Data Center facilities in a 24/7 operational environment. We are investing in scalable, people-first HR strategies and are looking for collaborative, self-starting HR professionals who are excited to shape how we support our workforce as AWS continues to grow.

    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.
