Sr. Technical Program Manager

Are you ready to take on the most complex technical initiatives? As a Sr. Technical Program Manager, you'll be the maestro behind the scenes, turning ambitious visions into reality through strategic planning, flawless execution, and exceptional leadership.

Technical Program Managers (TPMs) at Amazon are responsible for the planning, execution, and successful delivery of technical programs. At Level 6 (TPM III), you will be expected to manage technical initiatives, potentially spanning across multiple teams or organizations, in support of larger business objectives.

What Makes This Role Extraordinary

This isn't just any program management role. At Amazon, TPMs are the driving force behind our most innovative and impactful technical initiatives. You will:

• Create Visible Impact: Lead programs that directly affect millions of potential employees and current employees, recruiters and managers.
• Work with Brilliant Minds: Collaborate with world-class engineers, scientists, and business leaders
• Shape the Future: Drive initiatives that define how Amazon will operate for years to come

Key Job Responsibilities

What You'll Do

• Lead End-to-End Program Planning: Partner with cross-functional teams to create comprehensive roadmaps and execution plans for complex technical initiatives
• Drive Technical Innovation: Translate business requirements into technical solutions, working closely with engineering teams to ensure successful implementation
• Manage Risk Proactively: Identify potential roadblocks before they become issues and develop mitigation strategies that keep programs on track
• Champion Communication: Create compelling status reports that tell the story of your projects and ensure stakeholders are informed and aligned
• Build Consensus Across Teams: When different views emerge on how to proceed, you'll find the best path forward and influence others to follow

A Day In The Life

Start your morning by reviewing the status of a critical program that will improve the quality of hires for Amazon and its subsidiaries. You notice a potential risk and immediately spring into action:

• You bring together engineering leads from three different teams to brainstorm solutions
• You facilitate a decision-making meeting where trade-offs between speed, cost, and quality are evaluated
• You collaborate with UX designers to ensure the customer experience remains exceptional
• You update senior leadership on the program status, highlighting the risk and your mitigation plan
• You celebrate with your team as a major milestone is achieved ahead of schedule

No two days are the same, but every day brings meaningful challenges and the satisfaction of driving tangible results.
