Full Lifecycle Recruiter

The Amazon Japan Recruiting team is seeking a Recruiter who embodies a passion for learning and curiosity — someone who continuously seeks new knowledge, embraces different perspectives, and thrives on growing alongside a team of innovative professionals. We welcome candidates with a strong drive for innovation and an customer-first mindset.

You will successfully manage, prioritize, and close multiple requisitions against a timeline, with experience setting benchmarks and metrics.

You will partner closely with hiring managers across multiple business lines to create customized hiring strategies for talent pools and market conditions. In addition to end-to-end recruitment responsibilities across multiple hiring requests concurrently, you will work on both tactical and strategic projects to continuously innovate for our customers.

At Amazon, you'll work alongside the latest AI and GenAI tools that are increasingly woven into how teams operate: from AI-powered capabilities that accelerate decision-making, to Generative AI that helps you focus on work that truly matters. You'll have opportunities and resources to develop AI fluency at your own pace, with continuous learning built into the culture.
