    Description

    Do you want a role with deep meaning and the ability to make a real impact? Hiring top talent is not only critical to Amazon's success-it can literally change the world. It took a lot of great hires to deliver innovations like AWS, Prime, and Alexa, which make life better for millions of customers around the world every day. As part of Workforce Staffing (P&A), you"ll have the opportunity to reinvent the hiring process and deliver unprecedented scale, sophistication, and accuracy for Amazon"s Talent Acquisition operations.

    Key job responsibilities

    Customer Understanding & Discovery - Conduct direct customer research (interviews, surveys, site visits, Voice of Customer monitoring, data analysis) to uncover unarticulated candidate and recruiter needs. Distinguish stated wants from actual needs, generalize across personas, and translate insights into business problem statements. Serve as the voice of candidates and the business throughout the development lifecycle.

    Business Artifact Ownership & Requirements - Own business-facing artifacts (VOC documents, BRDs, PR/FAQs) that define the desired candidate and recruiter experience. Capture pain points, workflow logic, compliance/legal requirements, and acceptance criteria. Translate privacy and regulatory obligations (GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, country-specific labor laws) into clear requirements by partnering with legal, Employee Relations, and data privacy teams.

    Product Strategy & Execution - Own features end-to-end across the product lifecycle-from discovery through launch and post-launch monitoring. Translate strategy into roadmap priorities, determine MVPs, and make sound tradeoff decisions. Use prototypes, research, and data to validate directions quickly; develop tenets to navigate one-way vs. two-way door decisions.

    Cross-Functional Leadership - Drive alignment and consensus across engineering, design, operations, legal, compliance, marketing, and third-party vendors. Influence without authority, clear blockers, and lead business reviews with senior leadership.

    Data-Informed Decision Making - Define success metrics (output vs. outcome), analyze usage data and feedback, and measure impact while guarding against vocal-minority bias.

    Global Product Delivery - Support multi-country launches by conducting market-specific discovery, identifying localization and compliance requirements, and balancing global standardization with local needs across 10+ countries.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
