Description
Amazon's Disability and Leave Services (DLS) team is looking for a highly skilled Escalations Manager to join the team that owns Executive and Ethics Line Escalations for DLS and My HR Live Support (MHLS) services.
The ideal candidate will utilize a wide range of analytical and critical thinking skills to lead the team that investigates complex escalated matters, resolves immediate employee concerns, and collaborates with stakeholders across the business to drive high-impact corrective actions.
