A day in the life
This is not a traditional office role, as you'll be working on-site and have direct contact with our warehouse teams. Depending on where you're based, you may work on rotation with your HR assistant colleagues. This means there is always someone from our HR team on hand to talk to employees and support with any queries.

The HR Assistant role is varied. As well as helping us stay on top of key HR processes, you’ll support leaders in your team on different projects to engage people. This may involve collecting feedback from people and running activities to get them on board with new plans. This may involve collecting feedback from people, running activities to engage them with new plans or helping to create an inclusive environment where employees feel they can bring any HR related queries.

About the team
Our HR teams are collaborative and innovative, working together to solve problems and improve how we operate on a daily basis. They are naturally customer obsessed, focused on being trusted and professional ambassadors for HR.
Operations sits at the heart of the Amazon customer experience. We look after everything from the moment a customer clicks buy, to the moment their item is delivered - from desktop to doorstep. Across Europe we have more than 50 fulfilment centres, hundreds of delivery stations, thousands of machines, and tens of thousands of employees, all working together in harmony to make sure the right item gets delivered to the right person, in the right place, at the right time. In our buildings, millions of items are picked and packed by our employees every year. And on the road, our teams and partners work hard to make sure we get our customers what they want, when they want, wherever they are. We put the safety of our people above everything else, working in a modern, engaging environment as part of a team that welcomes individuality and diversity. The culture in our Operation is built on the way our teams bond and a work ethic that helps our business run like clockwork. We take real pride in a job well done, looking out for each other as we play our part in delivering the quality service Amazon is known for around the world.
