About The Position

US Military Members & Veterans Encouraged to Apply! At Amazon, we work backwards from the customer and invent on their behalf. We are seeking Technical Program Managers / Technical Product Managers / Program Managers who thrive in complex, ambiguous environments and have a track record of delivering large-scale, cross-functional initiatives that materially impact customers and the business. In this role, you will operate at the intersection of technology, product strategy, and execution—owning outcomes end-to-end across engineering, science, design, operations, and business stakeholders. You will be expected to set direction, earn trust, dive deep into data and systems, and deliver results at Amazon scale. A day in the life We lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that span software systems, platforms, and services—often in environments where the path forward is not fully defined.

We work closely with partners across engineering, science, design, operations, and business teams to drive alignment and deliver results at scale. We thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving problem spaces, where influence matters more than authority and outcomes matter more than process. Success on this team requires strong judgment, data-driven thinking, and the ability to turn complex goals into executable plans—while earning trust across diverse stakeholders.
