You'll be at the forefront of communicating and marketing vital operational and program information to Amazon employees, ensuring they can fully utilize and appreciate the workplace product, services, and spaces we provide. Additionally, this role may also serve as the face of GREF with employees, engaging directly via email, Slack, events, etc., and using your creativity and branding experience to develop content for comms channels.

This position is perfect for adaptable professionals who thrive in ambiguity and fast-paced environments, have a broad communications background across both internal and external audiences, and excel at managing diverse stakeholders and competing priorities.

If you're ready to take on a challenging yet rewarding position in a fluid, matrixed environment, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

At Amazon, we believe that in-person collaboration is essential to our culture and innovation. While we allow flexibility for personal circumstances, we generally expect employees to work from our offices five days a week. This approach has consistently shown that spontaneous interactions, rapid problem-solving, and the energy of in-person teamwork lead to better results for our customers. In particular, our data shows that teams working together in person are more effective at making complex decisions, onboarding new team members, and fostering the kind of creative collaboration that has driven Amazon's success. The serendipitous hallway conversations and impromptu whiteboarding sessions that happen naturally in an office environment have proven invaluable to our invention process and maintaining our high bar for excellence.
