Do you have a passion for leading large, cross-organizational, and functional programs and initiatives? Are you looking for an opportunity to join a team that has a global and cross Amazon scope? If yes, we are looking for somebody with your enthusiasm and skills to work as part of our team.

We are a central analytics team that owns Amazon’s insights pipeline, from data collection to deep analytics. We aspire to be the place where Amazon teams come for answers, a trusted source for data and insights that empower our systems and business leaders to make better decisions. Our outputs shape Amazon product and marketing teams’ decisions, and thus how Amazon customers see, use, and value their experience.

As the Technical Program Management lead, you will work closely with stakeholders, software engineers, machine learning scientists, and product teams to deliver our most complex, high quality, and scalable products deployed around the world and across Amazon. You will collaborate with our and partner product teams to deliver the best product with the most efficient use of resources and technologies. You will work with all the stakeholders to assemble project teams, assign responsibilities, identify resource gaps, and develop work back plans to launch multiple initiatives. You will also assess risks, anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints.

Successful candidates will have a technical background, be detail driven, and have excellent communication skills (both written and verbal) and problem-solving abilities. Successful candidates should not only be passionate about delivering extensible, on-time solutions, but also obsessed with contributing to the development of high-performance teams through rigorous goal-setting, disciplined attention to performance metrics, and continuous process improvement.
