Sr Pgm Mgr - Strategic, Amazon Shipping
About The Position
Amazon Shipping is building Amazon's next $100B business—making the logistics capabilities that power millions of Amazon deliveries available to any shipper, anywhere. That means launching new services, entering new customer segments, and scaling operations across geographies at a pace that matches the ambition. Each of these moves requires someone who owns the end-to-end delivery across a dozen teams that don’t report to them. As a Sr. Program Manager for Strategic Initiatives, you lead high-priority programs from definition through launch. You figure out how a new capability actually works across operations, technology, sales, finance, and support. You write the requirements, build the plan, identify what will go wrong, and hold teams accountable to delivering for shippers. This role is designed for people who get bored doing the same thing for years. You'll rotate across different problem spaces—international expansion, new delivery models, compliance programs, physical network launches—wherever the business needs dedicated program leadership most. When one initiative reaches steady state, you move to the next. Each assignment demands rapid learning, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to drive results across organizational boundaries. About the team We are NOVA, a technical product organization that incubates and grows new revenue-generating businesses for Amazon Shipping. We prove which capabilities, customer segments, and integration models become the next ecosystems: turning strategic initiatives into scalable products, winning enterprise customers through bespoke technical solutions, enabling large cohorts to adopt through integrator platforms and API infrastructure.
