Principal Technical Program Manager, Amazon Customer Service
About The Position
Customer experience is at the heart of all we do at Amazon, as we strive to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Amazon Customer Service (CS) is at the forefront of customer experience, working relentlessly to provide customers a convenient, high quality, and delightful experience — across all of our CS channels — in every interaction. Within CS, Network Solutions is responsible for designing, planning, and operating the world's largest customer service network. Amazon Connect is the cloud-based, AI-powered contact center service that underpins our voice, chat, and messaging channels — and CS is one of its largest and most complex customers. As Connect's capabilities rapidly evolve, CS needs a strategic technical leader to shape how we leverage this service to deliver exceptional customer experiences at global scale. We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to own the strategic relationship between Amazon Customer Service and Amazon Connect. This leader will define our adoption strategy, identify and prioritize feature requests that unlock value for CS, and partner directly with Connect product and engineering teams to influence their roadmap on our behalf. You will evaluate which Connect capabilities we adopt, which we build around, and how we sequence platform investments to maximize customer impact while managing technical complexity. This role requires a rare combination of deep technical fluency, strategic thinking, and the ability to influence without authority across organizational boundaries.
