Sr. HR Partner, Amazon Leo

Have you ever wanted to be part of a team building industry-changing technology At Leo we are building a low Earth orbit satellite network that will deliver broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities. Come join one of Amazons most ambitious bets with customers like Delta Airlines JetBlue AT&T and others already committed ahead of commercial launch.

We are seeking a Senior Human Resources Partner (Sr. HRP) to serve as the single-threaded HR partner for Leos Production Operations Corporate (Prod Ops) organization. Youll be part of a team delivering on one of Amazons boldest bets from production floor to orbit in an environment where every satellite is a one-way-door decision and the pace demands manager excellence as a precondition to mission success.

This is not a standard corporate HR role. ProdOps is 24/7 aerospace manufacturing where the leaders you support are navigating the intersection of Amazons people management culture with the operational discipline of aerospace manufacturing. Many are external hires who bring deep technical expertise but are still building fluency in how Amazon develops people or Amazon veterans encountering manufacturing realities for the first time. They need a dedicated HRP who builds sustained advisory relationships understands their operating context deeply and enables them to lead effective teams with confidence and self-sufficiency.

In this role you will own the Corporate manager experience end-to-end. You will operate as an independent strategic partner not a conduit gathering inputs synthesizing them into action driving to closure and proactively communicating risks before they become problems. The scope spans performance management employee relations talent decisions compensation guidance policy consultation organizational change and crisis support. But the differentiator is how you deliver: through mechanisms that build manager capability over time AI-enabled tools that put the right data in managers hands at the right moment and a partnership model that prevents problems rather than just resolving them.

This role reports to the Sr. HRP Manager (Leo) and operates as a peer to the ProdOps Site HRP Manager and Sr. HRP Launch Services STL (Single Threaded Leader). Occasional travel to production sites may be required to maintain strong relationships with operational leadership.
