Job description

Senior Manager, Non-Technical Recruiting, Amazon University Talent Acquisition

Job ID: 10497591 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Amazon University Talent Acquisition (AUTA) is on a mission to identify and attract the world's best MBA talent — future leaders who will drive innovation across Amazon's businesses. We don't just fill roles; we shape the leadership pipeline that fuels Amazon's next chapter.
We're looking for an experienced Recruiting Manager to own MBA and Undergraduate Non-Technical recruiting operations end-to-end. In this role, you will:
- Lead a team of senior recruiters across full-lifecycle recruiting — from strategy through offer close — partnering directly with business leaders across Amazon to deliver exceptional talent
- Build and scale programs that elevate the candidate experience and strengthen Amazon's brand on top MBA campuses
- Drive operational excellence — owning metrics, mechanisms, and continuous improvement for one of Amazon's most visible and competitive talent pipelines
- Influence stakeholders at all levels — serving as a trusted advisor to hiring teams, program managers, and senior leadership on MBA hiring strategy and market intelligence
Why you\'ll love this role:
- High visibility, high impact — MBA hires step into leadership roles across Amazon; your work directly shapes the company\'s future
- Autonomy with support — you\'ll own the function with the backing of a seasoned AUTA leadership team invested in your growth
- Innovation space — AUTA is evolving fast; you\'ll have room to challenge the status quo, experiment, and build what\'s next in university recruiting
- Career trajectory — Amazon\'s scale means your next opportunity is always within reach
This is a role for a builder — someone who thrives in ambiguity, obsesses over candidate and customer experience, and wants to run a program that matters.
Key job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end recruiting strategy and execution — lead full-lifecycle recruiting across target MBA programs, from workforce planning and pipeline development through offer close and onboarding handoff
- Manage campus and candidate relationships — serve as Amazon\'s primary recruiting presence at assigned MBA programs; cultivate long-term partnerships with career services, student clubs, and faculty
- Partner with business stakeholders — consult with hiring managers, business unit leaders, and HRBPs to understand talent needs, calibrate role requirements, and deliver candidates who raise the bar
- Drive operational mechanisms — own recruiting metrics (pipeline health, conversion rates, time-to-fill, candidate experience scores); run WBRs and deliver data-driven insights to leadership
- Develop and execute events strategy — plan and lead on-campus engagements, info sessions, coffee chats, and closed-list events that strengthen Amazon\'s employer brand with MBA talent
- Manage and improve recruiting processes — identify bottlenecks, design scalable workflows, and implement tools/mechanisms that increase efficiency and candidate quality
- Ensure bar-raising hiring standards — uphold Amazon\'s interview philosophy; coach hiring teams on behavioral interviewing, calibrate loops, and close high-priority candidates
- Deliver executive-level reporting — synthesize recruiting performance, market trends, and competitive intelligence into narratives for senior leadership

Basic Qualifications

- 10+ years of Recruiting or HR experience
- 10+ years of Talent Acquisition experience
- 5+ years of direct people leadership experience
- 3+ years of managing managers experience
- Bachelor\'s degree or foreign equivalent
- Experience in Recruiting or HR
- Experience building, coaching and managing a recruiting team

- Experience working with recruiting tools and systems, including resume databases, internet sourcing tools, and spreadsheets
- Bachelor\'s degree or equivalent

Preferred Qualifications
