Description
The future of cloud computing is being built by engineers who need an HR leader who can match their pace. AWS Compute Abstractions - a multi-billion dollar portfolio powering millions of customer workloads across Containers, Serverless, High Performance Computing, and Quantum - is looking for a Senior HRBP to develop and execute people strategy for some of the fastest-growing, most technically complex services at AWS. You"ll partner directly with senior engineering leaders navigating AI-first transformation, organizational change, and specialized talent - balancing strategic consulting with hands-on ownership of talent reviews, compensation, and workforce planning
Key job responsibilities
- Develop and execute people strategy for assigned organizations, translating business needs into actionable HR plans
- Partner with senior leaders on organizational design, workforce planning, and succession planning - particularly as the organization redefines engineering contribution in an AI-first world
- Lead Organization and Leadership Reviews twice annually, driving talent calibration, development planning, and organizational health priorities
- Analyze workforce metrics (retention, attrition, sentiment, high performer data) to identify emerging risks and recommend systemic improvements
- Strong coaching skills paired with high judgment - able to read complex situations, calibrate the right approach, and act decisively in ambiguity
- Support AI-first workforce transformation by helping engineering leaders adapt career frameworks and development practices
- Work closely with specialist HR teams (Compensation, Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, Employee Relations) and matrixed global HR colleagues to deliver integrated solutions across regions
- Leverage Gen AI tools to improve HR processes while maintaining transparency and using high judgement before implementation
A day in the life
This role balances strategic partnership with hands-on execution. You"ll coach senior engineering leaders through organizational change, analyze workforce data to get ahead of retention risks, and run the operational rhythm of talent reviews and compensation cycles. You"ll collaborate closely with specialist HR teams - Compensation, Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, Employee Relations, and HR Support - to deliver integrated solutions. You"ll deliver independently while partnering with the HRBP Lead on cross-portfolio priorities.

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
