At Amazon, HR Partners (HRP) provide high‑judgment HR support to managers across levels at scale, enabling them to become force multipliers for customer impact and positive employee experience. They demonstrate advanced knowledge of HR policies, processes, and tools, acting as trusted consultants to managers and senior managers.

They operate independently as subject matter experts with deep knowledge of regional programs and policies, collaborating extensively with PXT teams including HR Business Partners, Employee Relations, IXT, Legal, and others to provide integrated people solutions. As established practitioners, they mentor junior team members and shape best practices across the region.
