DESCRIPTION

At Amazon, we strive to be Earth’s best employer by creating a safer, more productive, higher performing, more diverse, and more than “just work” environment. To get there, we are seeking an experienced Principal HR Generalist (HRBP) to support the growing International Seller Services (ISS) organization. If working with smart people worldwide sounds interesting, this job is for you! International Seller Services enables over 3MM third-party sellers worldwide to list their products for sale to Amazon customers. Sellers offer hundreds of millions of unique products and are a critical part of Amazon's vision to offer the Earth's largest selection and lowest prices.

They will partner with Amazon VPs and Directors who lead our global Sales and Tech teams to onboard and integrate new and diverse senior-level talent, develop organizational designs that best serve our customers and enable our teams work cohesively towards common business goals.

This person must have the ability to think strategically coupled with the willingness to roll up their sleeves and act tactically when necessary. We seek someone who wants to make every day better for our employees, who has a bias for action, ownership and the capacity to conduct and leverage comprehensive root-cause analysis when building business cases or influencing decisions. The day-to-day activities in this role may include meeting 1:1 with business partners across ISS to discuss topics such as strategies for diverse talent attraction, plans to develop diverse talent, to review succession plans and build steps to future-proof the business, to deep dive into organizational design and make recommendations, or to provide executive coaching. You may also spend time program managing activities in the talent management lifecycle, like preparing for talent reviews, reviewing compensation or providing feedback on promotion documents. You may attend business staff meetings to learn about the business, and to share out critical people metrics and along with recommendations to achieve people-related goals. You may have team meetings with global HR partners or with various team members across DEI, Talent Management and other Centers of Excellence. You may travel on some days, or attend offsites. And, you will almost always be challenged, learn something new and have fun! Key job responsibilities
