DESCRIPTION

This is a full-time position that will require some travel, up to 50% of the time over the course of the year mainly in the UK and Ireland but occasionally in Europe. Due to the nature of the travel, the base location is flexible in UK.

At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people. The Sr. Employee Relations Manager position requires an individual who has significant employee experience, deep subject matter expertise, and strong leadership, communication and interpersonal skills. These competencies will enable the individual to work both independently to successfully manage a broad spectrum of ER issues and with employees and partners across Amazon’s wide geographic and cultural scope.

The central objectives of the Sr. Employee Relations Manager role in the UK&IE Field Employee Relations team are:
  • Ensure our organization’s treatment of every employee is fair, respectful, and consistent with our core business values, policies and objectives as we Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer.

  • The individual will work proactively to enhance the employee experience by identifying and addressing employee concerns early, de-escalating and resolving workplace issues before they reach a level of criticality requiring reactive efforts.
  • The individual also will work as a project manager on proactive initiatives that improve employee relations and engagement.
  • On a reactive basis, the individual will undertake a significant amount of work on critical employee relations issues that are highly sensitive and typically can only be successfully completed with limited time.
  • Balancing time between proactive efforts and urgent-response
