Key job responsibilities
• Program management. Build and execute plans with clear objectives, milestones, stakeholders, and metrics.
• Prioritization. There will be a constant flow of work, both hands-on and strategic, sometimes with competing priorities. Determine what gets done first and why, while managing a plan for what to do with everything else.
• Build relationships. Partner with global HR leaders, while working closely with business leaders across AWS. Share best practices, partner on solutions, and move the organizations forward together.
• Have bias for action and comfortably handle ambiguity. Sometimes it is not clear how we are going to get there. Are you energized by creating a new path where one may not exist? How fast can you do it? What are the tradeoffs?
• Think big. How do we build bigger, better, faster? What aren’t we thinking of?
• Communicate clearly. Share your ideas verbally and in writing, listen to others, follow-up, and follow-up again.
• Be resourceful. If you don’t know how to solve it, that’s ok, but you should know where to go for the answer or how to find out.
• Use data to make decisions. Be more than comfortable talking about numbers and data in a deep and detailed way, able to tell someone what the data is actually saying.
• Display high judgment. Take different perspectives and business needs, develop a solution that works, move the ball forward. Be able to support your opinions with sound reasoning grounded in what’s best for our customers.
• Leadership and experience with Compensation, Talent Management, and Inclusion and Diversity initiatives.
