Sr. Compensation Consultant, Executive Compensation

Description

Amazon is one of the most complex and fast-moving businesses in the world, and the people behind it are what make it possible. Our Executive Compensation team plays a critical role in attracting, retaining, and rewarding the senior leaders who drive that growth.

We're looking for a Sr. Compensation Consultant who thrives in ambiguity, brings creative problem-solving to the table, and wants to shape how Amazon rewards its most senior talent on a global scale.

Key job responsibilities

What You'll Do

• Own the executive compensation strategy, planning, and execution for your supported organizations globally.
• Partner directly with senior HR leaders, Executive Recruiting, and business leadership to design compensation strategies aligned with Amazon's philosophy while meeting the unique needs of each org.
• Lead conversations with VPs and Directors on total compensation topics; you'll be the trusted advisor in the room.
• Develop creative, data-driven solutions to complex compensation challenges, balancing competitiveness, equity, risk, and reward.
• Perform deep analysis on global compensation programs, assess market competitiveness, and model the impact of alternatives.
• Build and maintain mechanisms that drive operational excellence; partner with compensation tech teams to implement tools and automation.
• Conduct custom market surveys with key industry contacts to inform strategy.
• Proactively identify compensation needs on a current and forward-looking basis, bringing solutions before problems surface.

You'll have a seat at the table with Amazon's most senior leaders, influencing decisions that directly impact organizational performance.

The scope is global, the problems are complex, and cookie-cutter approaches don't work here.

You'll operate with high autonomy and ownership in an environment that values invention, speed, and the highest standards.
