Amazon Security is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager with a strong delivery record and proven program management experience to join our Strategic Risk Insights (SRI) team. Our team empowers stakeholders to grow securely by enabling leaders to understand and manage their risks and the impact of their decisions. We go beyond traditional methods of risk management, providing teams with insightful data and novel tools to make informed decisions that unlock opportunities and drive innovation.
This role will support security excellence initiatives within SRI, analyzing operations, identifying opportunities, and managing the execution of projects and programs. The Senior Technical Program Manager is responsible for implementing and driving program management for large-scale, complex, global information security events and initiatives, communicating with leadership, and transforming nebulous needs into actionable security solutions. You will partner with service, engineering, and security teams, bringing process and rigor to both response and non-response focused programs. You will play a critical role in optimizing processes to benchmark best-in-class operations, standardize performance, and drive continuous improvement. This requires managing and balancing multiple priorities simultaneously, and at times, supporting response operations with our incident response and vulnerability management teams.
In this role, you'll help support our mission: empowering leaders with the insights they need to manage risks and drive innovation securely. You will have the opportunity to challenge traditional risk management methods, pushing the boundaries to make data-driven decisions that have a real impact on our organization and our customers.
