Sr. HRP Manager, Amazon Leo

Have you ever wanted to be part of a team building industry-changing technology? At Leo, we are building a low Earth orbit satellite network that will deliver broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities. Come join one of Amazon"s most ambitious bets, with customers like Delta Airlines, JetBlue, AT&T, and others already committed ahead of commercial launch.

We are seeking a Sr. HRP Manager to lead the team of Site HR Partners supporting Leo"s Production Operations (ProdOps) organization and to serve as the single-threaded HRP leader for the ProdOps business. You will hold a seat at both the Leo ProdOps PXT and Leo PXT Leadership tables. You"ll be part of a team delivering on one of Amazon"s boldest bets, from production floor to orbit, in an environment where every satellite is a one-way-door decision and the pace demands manager excellence as a precondition to mission success.

This is not a standard corporate HR role. ProdOps is 24/7 aerospace manufacturing, where the managers your team supports are navigating the intersection of Amazon"s people management culture with the operational discipline of aerospace manufacturing. Many are external hires who bring deep technical expertise but are still building fluency in how Amazon develops people, or Amazon veterans encountering manufacturing realities for the first time. They need HR Partners who build sustained advisory relationships, understand their operating context deeply, and enable them to lead effective teams with confidence and self-sufficiency.

In this role, you will lead a team of Site HRPs who own the manager experience end-to-end across the hourly manufacturing workforce, and you will be accountable for the quality, consistency, and impact of the guidance they provide managers. You will define the HRP strategy and operating model for the ProdOps business, setting the standard of excellence your team operates within and building organizational capability that outlasts any single initiative. You will ensure your team operates as independent strategic partners, not conduits: gathering inputs, synthesizing them into action, driving to closure, and proactively communicating risks before they become problems. The scope of guidance your team delivers to managers spans performance management, employee relations, talent decisions, compensation, policy guidance, and crisis support.

What differentiates this role is both the altitude and the architecture of your impact. You will define the frameworks, mechanisms, and governance that your team operates within, not just execute within existing ones. You will architect the ProdOps HRP delivery model end-to-end: designing how Corp HRP, Site HRP, and Launch Services HRP connect into a single integrated partnership the business experiences seamlessly. You will drive how the HRP function scales from a startup-phase team into an enduring operational capability, building standards and mechanisms that can absorb future business growth (new sites, new geographies, acquisition integration) without requiring ground-up rebuilds. You will champion AI-first approaches to HRP service delivery, setting the vision for how tools like Amazon Quick, QuickSight dashboards, and automated workflows transform your team"s operating model, shifting capacity from reactive case handling toward proactive, capability-building advisory work. You will partner with your peer HRP leaders to ensure strategic alignment and connected delivery.

The role requires regular travel to production sites to support your team, understand evolving business challenges, and maintain strong relationships with operational leadership.
