550 More Amazon Jobs Coming To Tempe

TEMPE, AZ — Amazon plans to create more than 550 new corporate and tech jobs over the next few years, the company announced Tuesday.

Amazon plans a 63,000-square-foot expansion at its Phoenix Tech Hub at 100 S. Mill Ave. in Tempe to make space for the slew of new workers, according to a news release from Tempe. Employees are expected to begin moving into the new office space late next year.

“It’s investments from companies like Amazon that will continue to help Tempe attract more businesses and tech talent to our city,” Tempe Mayor Corey Woods said in the news release. “These types of investments not only create good jobs, but they help to power the economic engine of our community and provide more opportunities for our residents and citizens.”

Amazon plans for the new jobs to support its consumer retail, Amazon Web Services, and operations teams and to include software development engineers, senior solution architects, project managers and business analysts.

“Not only do Phoenix and Tempe have an incredible existing talent pipeline, but this is a place where people want to move to as well,” site lead for Amazon’s Phoenix Tech Hub Doug Welzel said in the news release. “We’ve experienced amazing growth over the last few years, creating jobs and economic opportunity for the wider community. We’ve already created more than 5,000 corporate and tech jobs in the Phoenix area and we are excited to continue investing here.”
