Amazon Model Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

Amazon Candidate Connection Services (ACCS) is the front door for millions of candidates each year across 18 countries and 6 languages in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. We handle 1.6M+ candidate contacts annually, and are in the middle of one of the most significant operational transformations in Amazon's hiring history - moving from a traditional contact center model with regional process variations to a globalized, standard, and AI-first candidate experience team.
We are hiring a Senior Manager to be the single-threaded global leader for ACCS. You will own end-to-end operations across three regions (NA, EU, and APAC), leading all functions and a 300+ person team of internal contact center teams and outsourced vendor partners. The current operational hubs for the in-house teams are in Tempe, AZ (U.S.), Bristol (United Kingdom), Prague (Czechia), and Tokyo (Japan). Your mandate is clear: unify global operations under one strategy and quality standard, own the containment rate target, define which candidate interactions move fully to agentic AI, and serve as the business owner of AI resolution quality - not just a voice into the development process. You will optimize operation model, site strategy, and sourcing mix to improve candidate satisfaction, quality, and operational efficiency.
This is a strategic build role. You are the key business stakeholder who influences system architecture and workflows that serve candidates better at lower cost - across every time zone, language, and hiring market Amazon operates in. You will also serve as the primary operational voice into agentic AI development, ensuring that real-world candidate interaction data and performance insights shape how AI agents perform globally.

Lead day-to-day operations across all service pillars: Inbound Candidate Care, Outbound Risk Mitigation Contacts (2-Way SMS, engagement reducing candidate drop-off), and virtual Video Call Processing plus critical support structures across all regions. Accountable to service level, quality, and efficiency targets for in-house and outsourced operations.
Build and lead a globally distributed leadership team - developing managers, redesigning roles, and creating performance frameworks with clear KPIs for each function.
Own the global escalation framework for complex or sensitive candidate issues, designing tiered protocols ensuring speed, consistency, and stakeholder visibility.
Partner with senior leadership and cross-functional teams to align ACCS strategy; serve as the interface for assessment questions, proctoring issues, and fraud-related scenarios.
