Learning Business Partner (Saudi Nationals Only), Fulfillment Center

Who we are:

Amazon is focused on ensuring its associates can work in a safe, quality focused environment. Our learning teams are responsible for delivering and providing high quality safety compliance, process and on-boarding training to ensure that our associates are set up for success.

The Learning Business partner is a member of the leadership team within a fulfillment center and is focused on managing the learning needs of all employees. They must have the ability and initiative to understand the business needs, analyse issues and influence solutions/outcomes. This is a team player who not only leverages his/her own team to respond effectively to a variety of training scenarios, but is able to work closely with a central MEATR (Middle East, Africa and Turkey) team to effectively prioritize and deploy training programs based on customer need – from training processes at scale to ongoing leader development.

An Amazon Fulfillment Center (FC) is a dynamic and challenging environment. You will be very close to the action and spend time on the warehouse floor with the teams who make our FCs great.
