About the role

Amazon's Executive Compensation team plays a critical role in attracting, retaining, and rewarding the senior leaders who drive growth. We're looking for a Sr. Compensation Consultant who thrives in ambiguity, brings creative problem-solving to the table, and wants to shape how Amazon rewards its most senior talent on a global scale.

Key job responsibilities

• Own the executive compensation strategy, planning, and execution for your supported organizations globally
• Partner directly with senior HR leaders, Executive Recruiting, and business leadership to design compensation strategies aligned with Amazon's philosophy while meeting the unique needs of each org
• Lead conversations with VPs and Directors on total compensation topics; you'll be the trusted advisor in the room

You'll have a seat at the table with Amazon's most senior leaders, influencing decisions that directly impact organizational performance.
