Sr. HR Partner, Amazon Leo

Key job responsibilities

• Manager Capability and Consultation. Build sustained advisory relationships with corporate managers and senior leaders across ProdOps. Act as a thought partner on complex people matters requiring high-judgment guidance beyond self-service tools. Provide personalized consultation that meets each manager where they are. Operate independently — synthesize inputs, drive to closure, and communicate risks before they become cases.
• Manager Experience Steward and AI-First Enablement. Work backwards from the voice of the manager to identify friction and simplify processes. Champion AI-first approaches and actively leverage AI-native tools to build scalable mechanisms, generate proactive insights, and deliver manager support with greater speed and lower friction. Partner with central teams to advocate for product and process improvements that reflect this population's needs.
• Performance and Talent Management. Partner with managers to ensure fair, bias-free performance evaluations. Provide high-judgment consultation on sensitive cases, coach managers through complex conversations, and support talent processes and job code changes. Build mechanisms that surface actionable insights to de-risk the business.
• Employee Relations with a Prevention-First Posture. Independently lead workplace investigations and disciplinary guidance. Partner with GCER and Legal on complex or high-visibility cases. Monitor sentiment signals, identify patterns, and build interventions that address root causes. Prevention over resolution.
• Full HRP Portfolio. Provide expert consultation across the breadth of the HRP portfolio — from compensation and policy governance through exits, crisis management, and organizational change. Bring the judgment to know when to resolve directly, when to route, and when to coach the manager to handle it themselves.
• Leo-Wide Initiatives. Contribute to Leo-wide work requiring HRP execution — acquisition integration planning, proactive ER/LR strategies, and expansion.
