Sr. HR Partner, Amazon Leo

Amazon • Bellevue, WA

2d • $130,000 - $175,900 • Onsite

About The Position

Amazon Leo is building a low Earth orbit satellite network to deliver broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities. They are seeking a Senior Human Resources Partner (Sr. HRP) to be the dedicated HR partner for Leo's Production Operations Corporate (Prod Ops) organization. This role supports a 24/7 aerospace manufacturing environment where leaders navigate Amazon's people management culture alongside aerospace operational discipline. The HRP will build sustained advisory relationships, understand the operating context, and enable leaders to manage effective teams. This is not a standard corporate HR role; it requires a strategic partner who can gather inputs, synthesize them into action, drive to closure, and proactively communicate risks. The scope includes performance management, employee relations, talent decisions, compensation guidance, policy consultation, organizational change, and crisis support, with a focus on building manager capability through AI-enabled tools and a preventative partnership model.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Human Resources Management, Labor Relations, Business/Management, Psychology, or a related field
• 7+ years of human resources experience
• Experience implementing processes and delivering core HR solutions in large-scale, complex environments
• Experience independently leading workplace investigations and managing multiple high-priority assignments simultaneously
• Experience coaching and consulting with managers at all levels on performance management, talent development, and employee relations
• Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in Human Resources, Human Resources Management, Labor Relations, Business/Management, Psychology, or a related field
• Experience supporting manufacturing, aerospace, or hardware engineering organizations with manager populations of diverse professional backgrounds — helping leaders who bring deep technical expertise develop equal confidence as people leaders
• Demonstrated experience building AI-enabled workflows or mechanisms that scale HR processes and reduce dependency on manual support
• Demonstrated ability to build sustained advisory relationships with senior leaders and drive organizational change in high-growth, complex environments
• Strong business and HR acumen with demonstrated problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and analytical rigor
• Experience partnering with ER/LR teams on preventative and proactive intervention strategies — designing out root causes and addressing emerging patterns before they become cases

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Contribute to Leo-wide work requiring HRP execution — acquisition integration planning, proactive ER/LR strategies, and expansion.
