About this role

Sr. Specialist, Work Authorization Arlington, Virginia, USA Amazon's Work Authorization (WA) team is looking for a senior HR Specialist to support Work Authorization service optimization and product strategy in the Americas (AMER) region. The Work Authorization team mitigates the risks of legal non-compliance, financial penalty, and reputational damage by ensuring all employees hired into Amazon are legally authorized to work - and remain authorized throughout their employment. This role sits at the intersection of compliance expertise, customer experience, and technology - serving as the domain expert who translates deep operational knowledge of Work Authorization legal requirements, processes, and customer pain points into scalable, tech-enabled solutions. The AMER region includes the United States and the Form I-9 process, Amazon's highest-risk country and experience for Work Authorization compliance, supporting approximately 1 million employees and 1.1 million hires per year. A core focus of this role is monitoring, interpreting, and operationalizing U.S. immigration policy changes that impact employee work authorization - ensuring Amazon's compliance posture remains current and defensible in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment. This is not a purely operational role. While the HR Specialist is embedded in service delivery and serves as a trusted compliance expert to internal customers and stakeholders, the role's strategic value lies in its ability to drive process, policy, and technology optimization - contributing to a roadmap that balances immediate operational needs with long-term program durability. Key job responsibilities **Serve as the Work Authorization Subject Matter Expert for AMER** You will leverage deep expertise in Work Authorization
