HR Specialist, Research, Strategy & Solutions, Employee Experience & Outcomes (EXO) at Amazon in Berlin, Germany

About This HR Specialist Job in Germany

Amazon is hiring an HR Specialist to join its Employee Experience & Outcomes (EXO) organisation, working within the Research, Strategy & Solutions team that acts as EXO’s center of excellence for employee relations research and proactive workforce strategy. The role is based in Berlin, though Amazon has indicated it is open to candidates based in several other European corporate locations, including Luxembourg, the UK, Ireland, France, Italy and Spain.

This is a research-driven position rather than a reactive case-management one: the focus is on data analysis, trend forecasting and building scalable programmes that improve the employee experience across Amazon’s global, 1.5-million-strong workforce, rather than handling individual employee relations investigations.

This research-focused HR role looks at employee relations in a data-led way. The work includes studying cases, spotting patterns and suggesting ways to prevent problems.

• Be ready to explain how you protect confidential information.
