Operations HR in Germany
Amazon is a vibrant, global, fast-paced organization with core values like creativity, ownership, innovation, and a bias for action. Our mission is "to be Earth's most customer-centric company," and our evolution has been driven by the spirit of innovation that is part of our DNA. We strive to hire the brightest professionals and we believe that employing a diverse workforce is central to our growth.
Our HR managers are customer-obsessed, results-oriented, and agile - they play a critical role in managing human resources initiatives that drive innovation and execution in last mile delivery. They handle employee relations, performance management, compensation and benefits, training and career development, and employee retention.
First Mile & Customer Fulfillment
Our Human Resource professionals are hands-on generalists that act both tactically and strategically to maximise employee engagement and development. These critical roles require our HR leaders to be in regular contact with fulfilment associates and working closely with operations. By being approachable and genuine, Amazon's HR leaders keep our employees engaged and satisfied. Our HR generalists within Customer Fulfilment sit directly within one of our approx. 20 sites in Germany, working as part of a larger local HR team to provide support to our several thousands of employees in these sites.
Core to the business team, not a separate corporate function, HR understands the business and supports its strategy and goals. Our HR generalists are experts in everything from employee relations and works council cooperation to performance management, talent management to succession planning and employee engagement to legislative compliance.

Abi N.Associate Partner | Augsburg (Graben), Germany Abi left Nigeria for Germany in 2008 to study, earned a Master’s in Human Resources, and started job hunting. Her search led her to join Amazon in October 2016 as a Warehouse Associate packing, picking, and sorting. A year later, she noticed the Operations HR department was looking for a temporary admin, and she went for it. After three months, her temporary assignment ended and she went back to working in the warehouse. Then, in 2019, she saw the HR team was looking for a full-time Associate Partner. She applied, got the position, and has been loving this next chapter in her Amazon story. Abi’s favorite part about working for Amazon is having the opportunity to build a career and to be a part of something bigger. She appreciates the company’s commitment to seeking, supporting, and elevating diverse perspectives. |
Tugay O.HR Partner | Pforzheim, Germany Tugay had never heard of Amazon; it was only after learning the company was building a site in Pforzheim that he became interested. He had received an offer from a fast food restaurant to work as a shift supervisor, but he put the offer on hold to consider working at Amazon – he knew a new location would create significant opportunities. He joined in September 2012 and has never regretted his decision. Tugay thinks the culture at Amazon is unique compared to other companies - Amazon values its employees and does everything possible to make them happy, safety is very important, and opportunities for advancement are unlimited. Amazon's culture, in Tugay’s opinion, is characterized by diversity, work/life balance, collaboration, leadership, and strategic alignment. Outside of work, Tugay is an active member of a darts club - two years ago he ranked in the top 20 out of 325 players in the C-League. He is also an active member of the German Red Cross. |

Jan J.HR Business Partner | Hamburg, Germany Jan was looking for an employer in Hamburg that gives its employees freedom and opportunity to help shape the company. That's exactly what he found at Amazon, and since joining it's become his passion to help make Amazon better every day on behalf of our customers. Jan’s team works to deliver a great employee experience to Amazon associates and managers in the northernmost Logistics stations in Germany through world-class HR support. Their work enables associates and managers to demonstrate best-in-class performance every day, which directly impacts our customers. Not long after he started, Jan realized that onboarding documentation for Operations managers was lacking. He demonstrated a bias for action and, with the help of his colleagues, developed a manual and HR deck for executive onboarding. Putting the new guidelines into practice and receiving positive feedback from managers was very rewarding. Outside of work, Jan enjoys playing handball. |
