We are looking for an innovative HR professional to join the Amazon International Stores PXT team as a Principal HR Business Partner supporting Global Prime as we continue to build a best-in-class service offering.

We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply advances in technology and to solve real-world problems that will transform our customers' experiences in ways we can't even imagine yet. Our mission is to invent and simplify solutions and help bring the future to our customers. Our organization rewards intellectual curiosity while maintaining product focus.

The Principal HR Business Partner is both a strategic and hands-on role that provides full cycle Human Resources support to the Global Prime leadership team. Based in Seattle, this role will be a part of a fun, passionate and dynamic HR and business team and requires strong team collaboration with other parts of Amazon PXT. This role is critical in defining and executing our talent agenda by working backward from the customer and driving HR thought leadership and functional excellence.

Successful candidates will also demonstrate:

  • The ability to understand and use business goals to recommend new talent approaches to effect continual improvements in a growing business through our people.
  • A true hands-on approach as well as the ability to successfully monitor the "pulse" of the employees to ensure a high level of employee engagement.
  • Experience with organizational design and facilitating change management within a rapid and complex changing work environment.
  • Must be able to interface, coach and mentor senior leadership levels in the organization.
  • Success in creating and driving effective full cycle talent development programs using a data driven approach.
  • The ability to think big but also not be afraid to "roll up your sleeves."
  • A strong solutions focus and comfort working in an environment that values impact over effort.
  • The ability to effectively lead and influence HR teams without direct authority.
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
  • Passion for innovative HR solutions and process improvement.
  • Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

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.
