This is a contract role. The My HR Live Support (MHLS) team is currently seeking to hire an MHLS Sr. Advisor to support our Tier 2 Specialty Operation. The MHLS Tier 2 Specialty Team primarily provides customer service to Amazon employees through phone, chat, ticketing, and cases related to payroll, disability, policies, among others. This role will act as a point of contact for the team, offering immediate assistance on complex issues and handling challenging contacts. The Sr. Advisors provide case consultations and overall resolution and support for all types of leaves of absence and disability life events to our Amazon employees.

• Strong relationship-building and influencing abilities
• Robust analytical and critical thinking skills
• A customer service focus that aligns with Amazon's global standards

Key job responsibilities:

• Respond to inquiries about disability and leave events, time-off, payments, and work-related situations available to employees.
• Inbound and Outbound phone, chat and case support through the Specialized Support Queues.
• Serve as a point of contact for employees to provide holistic case management services, including medical documentation review to adjudicate compliance with corresponding leave plans, federal and state laws and benefit plans as defined by Amazon.
• Critically assess and adjust the case management plan to an employee’s changing needs.
• Address and respond to sensitive situations in benefit of employee experience and attempt to de-escalate complex cases.
• Manage own workload effectively to meet productivity goals and escalate when significant changes or gaps in assigned workload arise.
• Troubleshoot issues and seek to remove barriers before, during, or after a leave event.
• Respond to employee impacting issues that may arise during the leave event and ensure the right communication and documentation occurs, even when information is limited.
• Use good judgement and rationale to balance process adherence with employee’s needs to analyze and decide on disability, leave and benefits requests.
• Facilitate a smooth return to work and ramp-back plan for employees returning to the workplace.
• Educate managers and business partners on employee concerns and needs prior to starting a leave or returning back to work.
• Communicate regular updates to employees and stakeholders both verbally and in writing.
• Ensure compliance with standard work, federal/state regulations, and company policy.

• Consult, coordinate and partner with our third-party administrator, local HR, Safety, Legal, Payroll, Benefits team members and other support units as appropriate.

A day in the life:

In a typical day, you will manage a mix of escalated cases from Tier 1 advisors and direct employee contacts, researching and resolving immigration inquiries, processing documentation and letter requests, managing leave-related concerns, and supporting employees through accommodation processes. You own each case from first contact through resolution, proactively following up and removing roadblocks rather than passing issues along. Every interaction matters — you listen with empathy, anticipate what the employee needs next, and go beyond the immediate question to ensure a complete and trusted experience. You must be prepared to handle chat, phone calls, and back-office work interchangeably throughout your shift. This role demands proficiency navigating multiple systems, tools, and applications simultaneously with speed and accuracy. The ideal candidate is a self-starter with strong communication and organizational skills, a keen attention to detail, the ability to prioritize competing demands, and a relentless focus on delivering the best possible experience for every employee.
