There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
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.

- Thrive in working with key stakeholders in executive teams and marketing teams
to define strategy and requirements, and to align on a path forward when there
are complex tradeoffs
- Communicate regularly with senior leadership on status, risks, and change
control
- Make technical concepts intuitive for non-technical audiences, especially in
regards to statistics and machine learning
