Amazon Jobs Toronto

Job Summary

Join us to tackle a scaling challenge without an identified solution! Amazon’s mission is to be Earth’s most customer-centric company – and to fulfill that mission, Amazon needs to hire pioneers, innovators, and leaders at a massive scale.

Amazon’s Recruiting Engine team supports this mission by building global, scalable, flexible, and highly available products that enable candidates to find their next amazing career opportunity at Amazon. We are bringing Amazon’s trademarks – big ideas and customer obsession – to recruiting at Amazon.

Key job responsibilities

You are responsible for managing the lifecycle of complex, cross-functional programs with considerable impact on our ability to scale recruiting at Amazon. You oversee the gap between teams, processes, and system architectures.

You solve ambiguous problems and proactively identify and mitigate risks before they become roadblocks for your team. To ensure business and technical stakeholder needs are aligned, you drive mindful discussions that lead to crisp decisions. You partner with customers and engineering teams to determine which projects move forward and in what priority order.

A day in the life

Your daily routine will include meeting with leadership and your team to plan and execute your goals. You will create mechanisms to drive program and project excellence and hold the team to account to ensure that standards are constantly driven higher. The team places great value on work-life balance – you will work with your team to define norms for when and where work is done, with significant flexibility on office and homework locations.
