Amazon Reviews Program Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

We believe that everyone who comes to Amazon should be able to build their career. Amazon Career Choice empowers employees to learn new skills for career success at Amazon or elsewhere.
Career Choice transitions associates advance their careers. We do this by building relationships with businesses both internal and external to Amazon to establish hiring partnerships and deeply understand the roles that are in demand. We then identify, select, and manage educational provider partners that can best prepare associates for these roles. For us, success is an associate completing an educational program and then being placed in a job using the skills they learned during the program.
We are looking to hire a highly analytical, creative, systems-thinker with good judgment who can drive results by working collaboratively with both internal and external stakeholders. This role will focus on designing and managing educational programs that are based on employer needs to create seamless pathways to new upwardly mobile career fields. Our team takes a data-driven approach to measure success and focus efforts on maximizing outcomes for associates.
We expect that you come to the team with experience in talent management, talent acquisition, workforce development, postsecondary education, vocational education, and/or skills training. You will be responsible for identifying and developing hiring partnerships with employers both internal and external to Amazon, seeking hiring commitments from these employers, selecting educational partners, providing feedback on program design and curriculum, and problem-solving to facilitate positive outcomes for Amazon associates.

A day in the life
Your primary focus is connecting education to employment. On any given day, you might be meeting with an employer to understand their hiring needs, reviewing program performance data with a school partner, or problem-solving with your team on how to get more graduates into jobs. You'll spend time building relationships - with hiring managers who need skilled talent, with schools delivering training, and with cross-functional teams who support the associate experience. You'll balance strategic planning with hands-on execution, and you'll always be asking: "Is this working for the people in our programs?"
About the team
Our mission is simple: help people build careers they're excited about. We manage a network of 600+ educational partners and work directly with employers to create hiring pathways for graduates. We measure success not by enrollment, but by whether someone completes their program and lands a new job. We're a small, collaborative team that operates with a startup mentality inside a large company - moving fast, using data to make decisions, and constantly iterating on what works. You'll join a group of people who care deeply about workforce development and believe that access to education can change lives.
