Description

Are you passionate about safety and ready to drive meaningful change at a global scale? Join our team as a Workplace, Health, and Safety (WHS) Program Manager and play a pivotal role in protecting the people who power Amazon's worldwide operations.

In this role, you'll serve as a trusted safety partner to senior regional and regional leaders, ensuring world-class safety standards for Information Technology (IT) team members across Amazon's global network.

A day in the life
Your day might begin with check-in calls with regional leaders across Europe to discuss emerging issues and align on priorities. You'll then join a global project call to review a battery end-of-life management narrative with teammates worldwide. In the afternoon, you lead an incident investigation — reviewing footage, interviewing witnesses, and mapping root causes. You may also partner with field leaders on action plans, design safety features for new equipment, or close the day analyzing a global safety dashboard to prepare data-driven recommendations for senior leadership.
