About This Role

Join Amazon's Builder Experience Team (BeXT) as a Senior Data Center HR Partner

and make every day better for the Builders who power AWS. This is a 100% on-site

role where you'll serve as the strategic HR partner to cluster operations

leadership across multiple clusters. You'll operate with significant autonomy —

applying senior judgment in precedent-setting situations, designing scalable

mechanisms, and coaching site leadership teams through the most complex people

challenges in a rapidly growing business.

What we are looking for:

Adaptability. Manage multiple scenarios across clusters utilizing HR expertise,

consulting skills, and influence — often in precedent-setting situations where

no clear playbook exists.

High Judgement. Make high-stakes decisions independently in ambiguous,

multi-stakeholder situations. Navigate complexity with composure and serve as a

go-to advisor for HRPs and site leadership.

Strategic Thinking. Connect sentiment trends, workforce data, and operational

signals across clusters to identify systemic patterns. Translate cross-cluster

insights into scalable recommendations that shape leadership action.

Influencing. Influence multiple levels of the organization across clusters —

from builders to senior site leaders and cross-functional partners — without

direct authority. Lead integrated people strategies through partnership.

Coaching. Develop site leadership capability at scale — designing structured

coaching approaches and building manager strength across a portfolio of leaders.

Key job responsibilities

Builder Advocacy: Build trust through consistent floor/onsite presence, site

walks & gemba walks across multiple clusters. Ensure execution and efficacy of

onsite listening mechanisms, identifying and leading strategies based on risk

patterns. Foster and role model an environment of inclusion for all Builders,

ensuring they feel fully engaged in their work and valued for who they are.

Independently manage relationships with employee representative boards.

Strategic Partnership: Serve as the primary HR partner to cluster operations

leadership across multiple clusters, developing proactive strategies and goals

focused on the Builder experience. Perform cross-cluster systemic risk detection

— connecting sentiment trends, workforce data, and operational signals to

provide recommendations to site leadership and HRBPs. Coordinate cross-cluster

communications in partnership with site leadership. Present at monthly All

Manager and All Team Meetings.

HR Expertise: Apply senior judgment to problem-solve across talent management,

performance management, compensation, and employee relations — including

precedent-setting cases where policy is insufficient or ambiguous. Lead

high-complexity employee relations matters, navigating Amazon Policies with

senior judgment. Lead workplace investigations in collaboration with Builder

Relations and Labor Relations. Drive resolution of systemic pay, internal

transfer, and hiring defects in partnership with central teams. Build procedural

policy/governance standards (e.g., SOPs) designed for adoption across clusters.

Leadership Development: Design and deliver scalable manager capability programs,

coaching site leadership through decision-making with empathy and sound

judgment. Identify development opportunities through data, sentiment patterns,

and onsite observation. Educate leaders on HR operating model standards and

drive adoption across clusters. Support interviews for site manager and

technical manager roles.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with HRBPs, Centers of Excellence

(COEs), Employee Relations, and Labor Relations to deliver integrated people

strategies across multiple clusters. Partner with New Hire Experience teams on

orientation, onboarding, and lifecycle support for new site launches. Mentor

HRPs and drive peer enablement. Manage through ambiguity in a fast-paced,

continuously innovating environment.

Role Requirements

This is a 100% Onsite role and requires the ability to travel to assigned Data

Center sites across multiple clusters within a region (estimated 30–40% travel).

Data Center environments are 24/7 operational facilities; flexibility to support

off-shift populations and respond to time-sensitive people matters is expected.

This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports; leadership is

demonstrated through influence, mentorship, and cross-functional partnership.

A day in the life

You'll conduct site walks across clusters with Operations, Safety, and

Deployment leadership — staying close to what's happening on the ground while

maintaining the altitude to spot patterns across sites. You'll analyze sentiment

data and roundtable feedback to detect systemic risk, then partner with cluster

leadership to translate those patterns into action. You'll coach site leaders

through complex, high-stakes people decisions, lead workplace investigations,

and design mechanisms and SOPs that drive consistency across your portfolio.

You'll mentor HRPs, coordinate with cross-functional partners on integrated

people strategies, and manage employee representative board relationships

independently. Basic Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in Human Resources,
