The scope and scale of our mission drives us to seek diverse perspectives, be resourceful, and navigate through ambiguity. Inventing and delivering things that were never thought possible isn't easy, but we embrace this challenge every day. Are you ready to embrace the challenge?
Trust is the foundation to being Earth’s Most Customer- Centric company and Best Employer. In this role, you have an opportunity to influence both! Selling Partner Services (SPS), which is part of the broader Worldwide Amazon Stores team, focuses on enabling the long-term success of Amazon's selling partners by providing the most trusted shopping and selling experience and by providing powerful solutions for accelerating our selling partners’ business growth.
Based in Seattle, WA, this HR Leader will partner with the VP of Trustworthy Shopping Experience. The vision of this team is to guarantee customers a worry-free shopping experience by earning their trust that the products they buy are safe, authentic, and compliant with regulations and policy, and giving them the confidence that Amazon stands behind every product and will make it right in the rare chance anything goes wrong. In this role, the leader will influence across business, tech, science, and operational teams, building partnerships with leaders, global peers, and the broader SPS People eXperience & Tech (PXT) team. The scope of this role includes support for cross-organization efforts as it relates to global employee experiences and people practices across the organization and additional initiatives across Selling Partner Services.

Key job responsibilities
This role will be responsible for the development and execution of HR strategies and initiatives, inspiring an indirect team of HRBPs, as well as being a part of the SPS PXT team.
This role will help senior leaders look around corners with data-driven recommendations that improve team effectiveness, build leader capabilities, and innovate improvements to the employee experience.
This role will also work closely with other HR, Program, and Science resources and teams to drive key initiatives and projects in areas such as such as global organization health, diversity, and talent management.
A day in the life
Are any two days the same for an HR professional these days?! But there are a few things that you can count on: an inclusive team, a safe space to learn and question, and partnership with leaders who care about people and their experiences, not just numbers and goal targets.
Each day will likely bring a mix of opportunities we know how to approach and others that will require deeper collaboration, inspection, planning and creativity. But we do this as a team and one that wins together- having fun and staying curious along the way.
