Are you passionate about people, and curious about what makes a great workplace actually work? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join Amazon as an HR Consultant Apprentice - a role where the decisions you support shape the day-to-day experience of thousands of employees. HR at Amazon isn't about admin and policy for their own sake. Our teams sit alongside business leaders, using data, insight, and well-designed mechanisms to help managers lead well, grow their people, and make fair, consistent decisions at real scale. As an apprentice, you'll learn this craft by doing it. You'll start by supporting the fundamentals and, over time, take on real responsibility - getting closer to the business, forming your own point of view, and learning how to influence outcomes rather than simply respond to requests. A day in the life can involve:
- Partnering with managers and stakeholders to offer expert, practical HR guidance
- Contributing to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
- Supporting the delivery of HR strategy for the lines of business you work with
- Using people data to spot trends and shape fair, consistent decisions
- Helping standardise and improve best practice across teams
