Amazon • Bellevue, WA

About The Position

The Amazon Workplace Health and Safety organization is looking for an Executive
Assistant who wants to work in a fast-paced, mission-driven, and core-business
organization. We are looking for someone to support a Director of Safety
Engineering on our Workplace Health and Safety team in Bellevue, WA.

Do you thrive in environments where your work contributes to people? As an
Executive Assistant in Workplace Health and Safety, you will be a key enabler
for a senior safety leader to scale their organization's impact across Amazon.
You will manage the rhythm of business for a Director who covers complex,
technical safety portfolios — meaning your ability to anticipate needs,
prioritize, and operate with discretion will directly contribute to the
organization.

Your day starts by getting ahead of the calendar — reviewing what's coming,
resolving conflicts, and setting the pace for what comes next. By mid-morning,
you're coordinating across time zones and pulling together materials for a
leadership review, where the details you organize directly shape how the safety
team shows up. Afternoons bring the unexpected: shifted meetings, last-minute
requests, rapid reprioritization. Some days you're planning a summit months out;
other days you're troubleshooting a room booking ten minutes before it starts.
By the end of the day, the operation ran smoother because you made it happen.

Our team exists for one reason: to make sure Amazon's facilities and equipment
are safe for every person who walks through the door. We're a group of
engineers, technical experts, and safety professionals who work across the full
lifecycle — from how buildings are designed and built to how equipment is
maintained and operated. We partner with teams across Amazon to reduce risk
through influencing design, developing and maintaining standards, and
data-driven decisions. If you want to join an organization that has a direct,
measurable impact on people every single day, this is the team for you.
