We strive to be the most customer-centric company on Earth, and to get there, we need the most talented, bright, and driven people on our team. We are seeking an experienced HR leader to support a growing AWS business segment that provides critical services for key customers in highly regulated industries. If you want to help us build the future of cloud computing, this is your chance to make history!

This HR role requires a blend of HR Business Partner (HRBP) and Program Management expertise. Working closely with a diverse set of stakeholders, you will own the strategic people agenda to enable rapid scaling of this business segment while also responding to evolving demands. You will provide leadership in developing and implementing HR strategies that foster growth, a culture of inclusion and innovation, as well as overall organizational effectiveness. Collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders and subject matter experts, you will create and refine policies and processes that allow this new business segment to scale quickly while also adapting to emerging requirements.

Key job responsibilities

• Program management. Build and execute plans with clear objectives, milestones, stakeholders, and metrics.

• Prioritization. There will be a constant flow of work, both hands-on and strategic, sometimes with competing priorities. Determine what gets done first and why, while managing a plan for what to do with everything else.

• Build relationships. Partner with global HR leaders, while working closely with business leaders across AWS. Share best practices, partner on solutions, and move the organizations forward together.

• Have bias for action and comfortably handle ambiguity. Sometimes it is not clear how we are going to get there. Are you energized by creating a new path where one may not exist? How fast can you do it? What are the tradeoffs?

• Think big. How do we build bigger, better, faster? What aren’t we thinking of?

• Communicate clearly. Share your ideas verbally and in writing, listen to others, follow-up, and follow-up again.

• Be resourceful. If you don’t know how to solve it, that’s ok, but you should know where to go for the answer or how to find out.

• Use data to make decisions. Be more than comfortable talking about numbers and data in a deep and detailed way, able to tell someone what the data is actually saying.

• Display high judgment. Take different perspectives and business needs, develop a solution that works, move the ball forward. Be able to support your opinions with sound reasoning grounded in what’s best for our customers.

• Leadership and experience with Compensation, Talent Management, and Inclusion and Diversity initiatives.
