Amazon's PXT HR (HR4HR) organization is seeking a dynamic HR Leader to provide strategic and hands-on organizational support for the Amazon Talent Solutions (ATS) organization. We are seeking an experienced HR leader who will demonstrate a sharp understanding of the talent acquisition and workforce staffing business, strategize how the PXT organization supports the growth and development of the business, and who is driven by developing top talent, driving innovative thinking about how to support the organizations and leaders in scaling with growth.

To be successful in this role, you will help senior PXT leaders look around corners with data-driven recommendations for innovative solutions as well as iterate on current mechanisms to improve performance, retention and the employee experience. You must have the ability to see patterns, diagnose issues, and recommend and develop both immediate and long-term solutions and mechanisms. This includes partnering with business leaders to shape the talent and workforce strategies as well as operational processes and systems needed to support unique business models and build an environment where employees can develop, contribute and thrive. This role will require you to roll up your sleeves and engage on a hands-on basis. High business acumen, manager coaching and excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential.

Key job responsibilities

To be successful in this role, you will help senior PXT leaders look around corners with data-driven recommendations for innovative programs as well as iterate on current programs to improve performance, retention and the employee experience. You must have the ability to see patterns, diagnose issues, and recommend and develop both immediate and long-term solutions and mechanisms. This includes partnering with business leaders to shape the talent, workforce, and total rewards strategies as well as operational processes and systems needed to support unique business models and build an environment where employees can develop, contribute and thrive. This role will require you to roll up your sleeves and engage on a hands-on basis. High business acumen, manager coaching and excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential.

  • Partner with Director and VP-level leadership to drive results and look around corners
  • Partner with central PXT teams, such as Talent Management, on systemic and scalable programs
  • Function as a thought partner and coach to key leaders and their respective organizations; engage in the business strategic planning to translate business needs into a people agenda and effective organizational design
  • Lead annual PXT talent management cycles relating to Talent and Performance Management, Compensation Management, Succession Planning, and Leadership Development for the organization
  • Use strong analytical skills to tell the story around the operational metrics and supporting data and provide actionable insights to raise the bar on organizational performance and drive path-to-green plans as needed
  • Communicate across global stakeholders at all levels and be able to know the business well enough (with the data to back it up)

A day in the life

This role isn"t your typical HRBP role. The ideal candidate will need to balance diving into the weeds, with stepping out to provide strategic thought leadership and guidance. This will span from the traditional talent routines and mechanisms, inspecting escalation outcomes to ensure high judgement guided decisions and we are getting to the right result, and helping to build the pieces of the puzzle that are the vision for the future of ATA PXT. This role is one where you will need to be comfortable dealing with a lot of ambiguity, while building structured mechanisms and processes to drive towards successful and equitable outcomes. You will guide HR professionals on how to elevate the performance and talent of their own teams.

About the team

This is a dynamic HR team that thrives on collaboration and infusing scalable innovation into every aspect of our work. We share a passion for the PXT profession and the unique opportunity to create, influence and implement strategies across PXT organizations.

About the Company

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.
